Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. Israel says it expects all living hostages being held by Hamas to be released on Monday. And in Gaza, Palestinians are awaiting the release of hundreds of prisoners being held by Israel. These are critical elements of the ceasefire that began Friday morning. President Trump, meanwhile, is on his way to the Middle East tonight.
He's going to address Israeli parliament, and he'll meet hostage families, families of the Israeli hostages, and then he'll travel to Sharm el-Sheikh, the Egyptian Red Sea resort, where he will co-host a summit with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. El-Sisi is calling it a peace summit.
There are leaders of almost 20 countries and organizations invited, including regional and European heads of state.
That's NPR's Jane Araf with a report from Amman, Jordan. Vice President J.D. Vance says the Trump administration will continue its court fight to be able to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois. NPR's Joe Hernandez has this report.
The ruling on Saturday allowed the Trump administration to keep the National Guard troops now in Illinois under federal control, but it blocked the deployment of those National Guard troops for now. Vice President Vance told ABC's This Week on Sunday that the government would continue arguing its case in court. We're obviously going to litigate this as much as we can.
We think that we have the authority to provide proper safety to our citizens all over the United States, but particularly in Chicago. Illinois' Democratic Governor J.D. Pritzker has repeatedly said there's no need for the National Guard in Illinois or Chicago and has accused Trump of overstepping his authority.
So far this year, the Trump administration has deployed National Guard troops to a number of cities, including Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Joe Hernandez, NPR News.
The South saw a number of shootings this past weekend. Elise Gregg of Mississippi Public Broadcasting has more on that story.
