Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Shea Stevens. President Trump has unveiled what he calls a comprehensive plan to end the war in Gaza and promote broader peace in the region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he accepts the proposal. And as NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports, Trump says he's now waiting on Hamas.
The 20-point plan calls for the release of all hostages within 72 hours and says Gaza will be a, quote, de-radicalized, terror-free zone. The UN and international aid groups will be able to bring in food and humanitarian goods into Gaza, which will be run by a new transitional authority. President Trump says the people of Israel want this war to end.
They say two things. Please get the hostages back and please end the war. They've had it.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the plan achieves Israel's war aims, a Gaza that won't be run by Hamas or the Palestinian Authority. Michelle Kellerman, NPR News, the State Department.
Congressional leaders of both parties left a meeting with President Trump Monday without agreeing on a plan to avert a government shutdown. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Democrats are not willing to compromise.
We are willing to sit down and work with them on some of the issues they want to talk about, whether it's the extension of premium tax credits with reforms. We're happy to have that conversation. But as of right now, this is a hijacking of the American people, and it's the American people who are going to pay the price.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffrey says that his party is insisting on one issue.
We're deadly serious about addressing the Republican-caused health care crisis because it's a deadly serious issue for the American people.
What is President Trump's 20-point peace plan for Gaza and how did Israel respond?
Jeffrey says more than 20 million Americans will face sharply higher health care costs if Republicans don't deal with expiring affordable care tax credits. And with the partial government shutdown looming, President Trump is slamming Democrats using what appears to be an AI-generated video in a social media post. NPR's Giles Snyder reports the Democrats shot right back.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries responded to the depiction of him wearing a sombrero and a mustache. In a post on X, he appeared to address President Trump, saying that bigotry will get you nowhere. In a separate post, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer disparaged Trump's negotiating skills, saying Trump can only throw tantrums. The fake video Trump posted shows Jeffries and Schumer talking with reporters outside the White House with mariachi music playing in the background. A fake voiceover of Senator Schumer complains about Democrats' political problems and argues for free health care for undocumented immigrants so they'll vote for Democrats. The social media fight broke out after Trump met with Jeffries and Schumer in the Oval Office to discuss heading off a government shutdown.

You're listening to NPR. In Indonesia, crews are desperately trying to rescue students trapped in the concrete rubble of a collapsed school building. At least three students were killed and dozens more were pulled to safety. Rescuers are running water and oxygen lines to the trapped survivors. At least 65 students were reported missing. New data shows fewer people are traveling out of state for abortions.
What are the key provisions of the plan for hostages, humanitarian aid and Gaza governance?
NPR's Katie Riddle has more on a report from the Guttmacher Institute.
After the procedure became illegal in some places, the number of women who traveled out of state in order to have abortions spiked. Data from the Guttmacher Institute, that's an organization that supports abortion rights, showed that number doubled. But now that trend may be reversing. A new report from Guttmacher showed a 5% decline in the number of women traveling out of state for abortions
