The central bank cut its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point in an effort to shore up a job market that's shown little growth in the last four months on average. Members of the Fed's rate setting committee signaled they expect to cut rates by another half percentage point by the end of this year. The newest member of the committee, White House economist Stephen Miron, called for larger rate cuts, echoing the demands of President Trump. But Miron failed to sway his committee colleague by design. The central bank is supposed to operate without political pressure from the White House so it can make the sometimes unpopular decisions needed to keep a lid on inflation.

The Israeli military in the last couple weeks ordered people to evacuate multiple tall buildings in Gaza City and then destroyed them, saying Hamas was using them. One of those buildings housed a repository of artifacts from more than 25 years of archaeological excavations in Gaza, including ceramic jugs, mosaics and artifacts from one of the world's first Christian monasteries from the 4th century. Aid workers and the Vatican's representatives in Jerusalem appealed to the Israeli military for a delay and quickly moved the artifacts to another location in Gaza before the building was destroyed. The UN says Israel's military has damaged more than 100 cultural and historic sites in Gaza in nearly two years of war. Daniel Estrin, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
