President Trump's envoy and son-in-law Jared Kushner is an Egypt today, where he will
“try to advance the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.”
NPR's Daniel Estrin reports Israel recently rejected a plan for Gaza that was backed by President Trump. Kushner is traveling to the region with Tony Blair and Nikolay Maladinov, top officials on Trump's board of peace. After meeting Egyptian officials to discuss next steps for Gaza, Hamas's top leader
is meeting separately with Egyptian officials. On Monday, Kushner and the Board of Peace officials head to Israel to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and discuss Israel's concerns about their 15-point proposal for Gaza. That's according to a Board of Peace official speaking anonymously ahead of the meeting. Netanyahu has rejected the proposal, which calls for Hamas to give up their weapons and exchange
for Israel withdrawing from Gaza. Hamas and Israel don't agree on who should make the first move. Daniel Estrin NPR News, Tel Aviv. The head of U.S. Central Command Admiral Brad Cooper has visited the U.S. S. Abraham
“Lincoln amidst concerns over conditions on board the aircraft carrier.”
The crew has been at sea for more than eight months, with reports of supply concerns and mental health issues. When asked about the lengthy deployment last week, President Trump said it was not nearly too long enough. Maryland's Democratic Governor Westmore on CNN State of the Union criticized that response.
"I would have hoped that since he's never been forward-deployed.
Since he's never put on the uniform and sacrifice for this country, that he would have more compassion for the people who are willing to. That he would have more compassion for their family members, who are willing to offer their loved ones to this country because they love this country so much."

Italian police have recovered three painting stolen several months ago from a museum near Parma, but as William Mark reports, a day later, separate thieves struck again, stealing four Renaissance works from a museum far to the south in Sicily.
The Italian police branch known as the Caribbean Yere announced on Friday they'd recovered a Suzanne, a Renoir, and a Matisse stolen back in March from a museum outside Parma.
That hall was worth around $10 million, and nine suspects from the small European nation
of Moldova remained under investigation. But for the dedicated police squad focused on protecting Italy's cultural heritage, the celebrations were short-lived. For unsacited, a night at the height of nationwide summer celebrations known as Fedagostot, thieves broke into a museum in the Sicilian city of Messina.
They made off with panels by a local Renaissance master, Antonello de Messina, the latest in a wave of high-st Targeting museums and galleries across Europe, the NPR News on the Lemmels. Arizona State University has launched a new bachelor's degree in content creation. This new major has sparked both considerable interest and scrutiny.
The program includes courses in traditional communication and media studies, along with skills-based classes in podcasting, studio production, and on-camera presence.

give students a leg up in the digital world. I'm Lynda Kenyan, and PR News in Washington.
