President Trump is preparing to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House this morning.
The two leaders will discuss a new U.S. proposal that Trump has described as special,
aimed at ending the war in Gaza.
But as NPR's Emily Fang reports, it's not clear if Israel and Hamas will agree to the terms.
Many of the points in the proposal have been raised before, for example,
an end to the war and exchange for all the hostages returned to Israel.
What is slightly new is Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister,
could lead an international consortium to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza at first.
But other points,
like the total disarmament of Hamas and a hard timetable of when Israel would withdraw its forces,
are sticking points.
And all the while, Israel's military continues to pound northern Gaza,
where some residents have not been able to leave this area
because they say they have nowhere safe to go.
All out of hospital on northern Gaza said on Sunday that Israel's ground operations there killed 13 Palestinians who were brought to the hospital.

The state of Oregon is suing the Trump administration to block the president from deploying National Guard troops to Portland to combat crime.
Tiffany Kamhi with Oregon Public Broadcasting reports the governor is blasting the move.
Oregon Governor Tina Cotech says sending National Guard members to the state's largest city is an abuse of federal power.
