Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. President Trump says Israel and Hamas have agreed on the first phase of his peace proposal. Trump is likely to travel to the region soon, as NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports.
In a message on Truth Social, President Trump announced a deal on the first phase of his peace plan. That means all of the remaining hostages will be released very soon, he writes, and Israel will withdraw troops to an agreed-upon line. Mediators say aid will be allowed to enter Gaza. Trump told reporters earlier in the day that he could travel to the region this weekend.
I'll be going to Egypt most likely. That's where everybody is gathered right now, and we appreciate that very much. But I'll be making the rounds, as the expression goes. I probably will.
He didn't rule out visiting Gaza when he was asked. A group representing families of the remaining hostages thanked Trump for what they're calling this historic breakthrough. Michelle Kellerman, NPR News, Washington.
A federal judge hears arguments today on the legality of President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois. Trump says he's doing this to stop crime in Chicago.
What recent developments have occurred in the Israel-Hamas peace talks?
The National Guard troops are outside the city because Illinois officials don't want them there. But federal immigration agents have been sent to a Chicago suburb. From Member Station WBEZ, Mike Puente has more.
There have been vastly conflicting stories in what's been happening with arrests by ICE. With the Trump administration calling protesters rioters and protesters objecting to arrests, some of the protests at the ICE facilities in another suburban area have flared into violence with protesters videotaping incidents which shows ICE escalating the violence as they're shooting rubber bullets into the crowds and spraying them with pepper spray.
Mike Puente reporting. A new poll finds differences between people about what health information they believe and from whom they hear the information. NPR's Yuki Noguchi reports the study showed that differences are falling along political party lines.
President Trump warned pregnant women last month against taking acetaminophen, the ingredient in Tylenol, claiming it causes autism. Doctors say there's no causal evidence for that and say taking Tylenol is safer than a fever in pregnancy. So what's the public reaction? The poll by KFF found nearly 60 percent of Democrats say the president's statements were definitely false, but an almost equal percentage of Republicans believe the opposite. Ashley Kersinger directed the poll for KFF, a health policy research organization.
As people are going to different sources of information to make decisions around their health care, we're going to see partisanship playing a big role in what people decide to do.
Yuki Noguchi, NPR News. On Wall Street and pre-market trading, stock futures are flat. This is NPR. The Senate has rejected a measure intended to block President Trump's deadly attacks against alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea. The vote was mostly along party lines. Trump's initial strikes have been on vessels from Venezuela. Now, the president of Colombia says the latest strike was on people from his country. John Otis reports on the widening U.S. attacks.
U.S. officials say American airstrikes in the Caribbean have destroyed four drug-smuggling boats from Venezuela and killed 21 people. The legality of these military attacks remains unclear, and now Colombia has been drawn into the conflict. Colombian President Gustavo Petro said on social media that the U.S. destroyed a boat carrying Colombian citizens and that a, quote, new war scenario had opened up in the Caribbean. The White House called Petro's statement baseless and reprehensible. For NPR News, I'm John Otis.
Former FBI Director James Comey will go on trial January 5th.
