Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Lakshmi Singh. Nearly a week since the election, President-elect Trump's filling more key posts in his incoming administration include Border Czar, Trump's former Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Chief Tom Homan. Homan will be tasked with carrying out Trump's plan of mass deportations of unauthorized immigrants.
And Trump's nominating Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for U.S. ambassador to the U.N., signaling Trump's pledge to... to strongly support Israel on the world stage against criticism of the war in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking a delay in his corruption trial at home due to Israel's expanding Mideast wars.
Netanyahu's corruption trial has gone on for more than four years. He's charged with granting favors to media moguls in exchange for positive press coverage and lavish gifts. Netanyahu denies wrongdoing, and he's scheduled to take the witness stand for the first time on December 2nd. But his lawyers are asking the court for a two-and-a-half month delay.
They say Netanyahu could not properly prepare because of Israel's assassinations of Hamas and Hezbollah officials, Gaza hostage negotiations, Israel's intensified war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and strikes by Iran and Israel on each other's territory. Critics say Netanyahu cannot properly lead the country while on trial and should step down. Daniel Estrin, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
The November US elections resulted in a record number of women who will serve as governors in the US.
Here's NPR's Amy Held. Thirteen women will serve as governors next year, breaking the record of 12 set two years ago. After Kelly Ayotte won the governor's race in New Hampshire, the new record was inevitable with two women running in that race.
And while the increased visibility is helping normalize seeing women in high office, the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers finds women remain underrepresented in political leadership. with money, family responsibilities, and party influence among the persistent barriers against increasing their political power.
Through history, 49 women have served in their state's chief executive office. 18 states have never had a female governor. Amy Held, NPR News.
