Chapter 1: What updates did President Trump provide regarding U.S.-Iran negotiations?
Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump says he expects the negotiating team led by Vice President J.D. Vance to return to Pakistan. It's not clear when the team would leave for Islamabad, but a two-week ceasefire with Iran is set to expire on Wednesday. NPR's Kat Lonsdorff.
There's been a lot of back and forth about who might attend possible talks between the U.S. and Iran and Islamabad and Pakistan. President Trump said he is sending a delegation to the talks. But as of now, Iran has not confirmed that it will be participating, even with that commitment from the U.S.
And these talks are crucial for furthering this ceasefire between the U.S., Israel and Iran, which was only supposed to last for two weeks and is set to run out on Wednesday here, local time.
A new United Nations report says billions of dollars are needed to rebuild Gaza, including university buildings. Palestinian students with scholarships to study abroad rallied in Gaza Monday, as NPR's Anas Bava reports.
A Palestinian song plays as hundreds of students rally in Gaza City. They are raising their passports and college acceptance letters above their heads, demanding Israel allow them to leave Gaza. Rima Skaik, who's 22, says she has been trying to leave Gaza for two and a half years after being accepted to four universities abroad, including in Canada.
We are students, we are top students, and we are maybe teachers, doctors, engineers, researchers. We just want to continue our dreams, and we want to reach our universities to rebuild Gaza.
Six months into the ceasefire, only small numbers of hospital patients and their companions have been allowed to leave Gaza. Anas Baba, NPR News, Gaza City.
The Supreme Court is again tackling a case that challenges the doctrine of separation between church and state. The justices announced Monday that they will decide a case that tests whether Catholic preschools may be excluded from a publicly funded program if they refuse to enroll the children of gay or transgender parents. NPR's Nina Totenberg reports.
The Archdiocese of Denver and two Catholic parishes contend that a voter-approved, publicly funded preschool program that is open to children attending any school, public or private, including faith-based schools... unconstitutionally discriminates against schools that refuse to admit the children of gay and lesbian parents.
