What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Good morning. One year after an historic vote to eliminate all federal funding for public media, we want to say thank you for sticking with us and continuing to allow us to keep you informed. We take that trust seriously, and we're grateful. NPR exists because of people like you who believe the world is better with public media in it. We can't do this without you. If you haven't given to support public media this month, it's not too late. Visit donate.npr.org and thank you for the support. President Trump claims to have reached a breakthrough in efforts to disarm Hamas. Hamas says today it will only give up its weapons if Israel withdraws from Gaza first. Israel says it wants the weapons gone first.
I'm Laila Fadil, that's Michelle Martin, and this is Up First from NPR News. Trump floated the idea of temporarily withdrawing his nominee for attorney general until two Republicans pushing back leave office. What would that accomplish? And a new report from the Commerce Department shows that economic growth slowed in the second quarter.
I'd say the U.S. economy is quite resilient and strong, but it's not balanced growth.

We've just marked one year since Congress voted to eliminate federal funding for public media. NPR remains committed to informing the public, but a free press doesn't just happen.

This week on Consider This, stay ahead of the latest news about AI.
We unpack the wild story of two models that hacked into another company, why some experts say it's a warning sign, and people with depression or anxiety are looking for help from chatbots. But that's not what they were designed for. We look at the risks. This week on Consider This, listen on the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, hey there.
What does President Trump claim about a breakthrough to disarm Hamas?
I'm Brittany Luce. And I don't know, maybe this is a little out of pocket to say, but I think you should listen to my podcast. It's called It's Been a Minute, and I love it. And I think you will too. Over the past couple months, over 100,000 new listeners started tuning in. Find out why. Listen to the It's Been a Minute podcast from NPR today. President Trump announced that his Board of Peace has reached a deal with the Palestinian militant group Hamas to completely disarm. Hamas is disputing that. And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far been silent. NPR White House correspondent Franco Ordonez is here with us in studio to bring us the latest. Good morning, Franco. Good morning, Michelle.
So what are the details of what the president is claiming?
Trump said last night that, quote, as disarmament is completed, Israeli forces will withdraw. He added that the International Stabilization Force will then work with a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for Gaza. And in a statement, Trump's Board of Peace also said that it had agreed to a detailed plan with the help of mediators from Qatar, Turkey and Egypt. But the condition that Hamas will disarm was already a key part of the 20-point peace deal that the U.S. brokered nine months ago. And the execution of that part of the deal has been stuck and the Israeli military has continued to push into Gaza.
What are we hearing from the actual parties in the war, Israel and Hamas?
Yeah, I mean, Michelle, like so many of these things, a lot comes down to the details and obviously the execution of those. The problem seems to be a disagreement over what comes first, whether it's Israel pulling out of Gaza or Hamas handing over their weapons. Now, the Board of Peace says, quote, withdrawal must move in lockstep with the decommissioning. But a senior Hamas official told NPR that they would only give up their weapons if Israel withdraws from Gaza first. Now, since the October peace deal, the Israeli military has really increased the amount of territory it occupies in Gaza.
