Live from NPR News in New York City, I'm Dua Halisa Kautel. Israeli airstrikes killed at least 37 Palestinians on Saturday, including seven children, according to Gaza hospital officials there. But both Israel and Hamas say they endorse Trump's 20-point plan to end the nearly two-year war. NPR's Carrie Khan reports on the cautious optimism in the Mideast.
Residents in Gaza like Iman Abu Akhlein, a 48-year-old mother of four, says the news of a deal is some relief. It's like we've been bottled up so tightly and now we can take a breath, just a small one, as we are still living in a nightmare, she says. Israel's military says it's getting ready to implement Trump's plan and has moved to a defensive-only position, according to an official not authorized to speak to the media on the record. However, Gaza health officials say airstrikes continued overnight, killing and wounding Gazans. Israel is preparing a team for face-to-face talks as the U.S. also sends envoys to Cairo, according to two people briefed but not authorized to speak publicly. Carrie Khan, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
The Homeland Security Department says it will begin to offer voluntary stipends to unaccompanied children in the immigration system. Jordan Reining with LAS Reports.
DHS has already been offering adults financial incentives to leave the country. Now it's begun offering payments of $2,500 to undocumented teens who arrived in the U.S. without a parent or legal guardian.

DHS said in a social media post, the offers are strictly voluntary, but organizations representing immigrant children have raised concerns that the offer of money may put children in danger, especially if the decision isn't made with a lawyer. For NPR News, I'm Jordan Running in Pasadena, California.
On the fourth day of the federal government shutdown, dozens of federal workers and contractors showed up at a town hall hosted by Democratic Virginia Congressman Suhas Subramaniam. He represents more than 36,000 federal workers. Margaret Barthel of member station WAMU reports.
Several attendees said they had lost their federal jobs as a result of the Trump administration's cuts and now depend on Affordable Care Act plans for health insurance. Marsha Peltz said her son was fired from the federal government in April and the shutdown is throwing his new contracting job into uncertainty. But she supported Democrats in Congress taking a stand. I think if you're going to fight on a hill, health care is the way to go. Because as Suha said today, it's for everybody. It doesn't matter if you're red, green, purple, orange. Shutdowns make a sizable economic impact on the D.C. region. But in this case, many said they felt the Trump administration has already done greater damage.
This is NPR. Saturday Night Live host Bad Bunny gave his audience a hint of what to expect when he performs during the Super Bowl halftime show in February, speaking in Spanish. After a few lines, he joked that if people didn't understand him, they had
