Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. After more than a year of war, Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire and hostage deal. NPR's Asma Khalid reports Israel is stopping short of calling it a done deal, but President Biden made the announcement today from the White House.
Biden says this was one of the toughest negotiations he's ever experienced. The deal largely holds to the framework, he says, that he outlined back in May, but it was reached in Biden's final days in office. The White House says it worked closely with the incoming administration, specifically Donald Trump's Middle East envoy.
I knew this deal would have to be implemented by the next team. So I told my team to coordinate closely with the incoming team to make sure we're all speaking with the same voice. because that's what American presidents do.
Trump is taking credit for the deal, posting on social media that it only happened as a result of his, quote, historic victory in November.
Asma Khalid, NPR News, the White House. The ceasefire is set to take effect on Sunday. A new NPR-PBS Marist poll out today finds that Americans have mixed feelings about some of President-elect Trump's priorities. NPR's Domenico Montanaro reports the findings come a few days before Trump is inaugurated for a second time.
Trump has said he wants to pardon January 6th defendants, impose tariffs on other countries, and conduct mass deportations of immigrants in the U.S. without legal status. But the NPR poll of almost 1,400 adults doesn't find a lot of support for those initiatives. More than 6 in 10 disapprove of Trump potentially pardoning people who are convicted of of attacking the U.S.
Capitol on January 6, 2021. When it comes to tariffs, 48% think that they'd hurt the U.S. economy, while only 31% say that they think they'd help. And on deportations, people are evenly split. The survey has about a three percentage point margin of error. Domenico Montanaro, NPR News, Washington.
As wind-driven wildfires continue to rage across parts of Los Angeles County, some people are starting to return to their homes. NPR's Katie Ariddle reports the rebuilding process is expected to take months or even years.
