Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. President Trump says Israel and Hamas have accepted the first phase of his plan for ending the war in Gaza. A ceasefire is supposed to start later today. Hamas is to release Israeli hostages. Israel will free a number of Palestinian prisoners and detainees.
Many world leaders are praising this news, but NPR's Ayyad Batrawi reports some Palestinian reactions are muted.
There were sporadic celebrations overnight after Trump's announcement, but the past two years of war in Gaza are a nightmare that continues. Ahmed Ait says he doesn't have faith that this is the beginning of a lasting peace, as Trump says. Where are we going? He says how can he be happy after all the blood that's been shed?
How can he be happy when he's still living in a tent with his children displaced from their home? Aid says he's lost more than 150 relatives in Israeli attacks on Gaza and that people are living on the streets without food or water. Under the plan, Israel must lift restrictions to allow hundreds of trucks of aid in per day.

The fight over whether President Trump can send National Guard troops into two American cities continues today in federal court. State and local officials from Portland, Oregon, and from Chicago, Illinois, are fighting the troops' deployments. NPR's Jacqueline Diaz has more.
Just yesterday, a three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a temporary ruling. The National Guard can stay under federal control but may not enter Portland. The court said it will issue a broader legal ruling after today's hearing.
President Trump has said National Guard deployments to American cities like Portland and Chicago are needed to protect the work of immigration agents and to reduce crime. But local officials from those cities say troops are completely unnecessary. A federal judge will hear arguments in the Chicago case this afternoon, while the Ninth Circuit panel reconvenes on the Portland, Oregon case.

It's about a group of poor residents in rural Hungary living on an abandoned collective farm. Steve Sem Sandberg is with the Nobel Prize Committee.
It is Laszlo Krasnohorkai's artistic gaze. which is entirely free of illusion, and which sees through the fragility of the social order combined with his unwavering belief in the power of art that has motivated the Academy to award him this prize.
