NPR's Domenico Montanaro reporting. The poll also finds that only 36% of respondents approve of President Trump's handling of the U.S. economy. The full House is expected to vote today on a Republican backed proposal to address health care costs. The plan by Speaker Mike Johnson does not extend the subsidies that millions of Americans use to help offset the cost of insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act. Without any change, costs will soar on January 1st. A small group of House Republicans has now signed onto a petition with the Democrats and it will force a vote on extending the subsidies, but it won't affect a vote on the speaker's proposal. The US Is trying to push to the next stage of the ceasefire in Gaza, but as NPR's Daniel Estrin reports from Tel Aviv, many of the plans for Gaza could take months to implement.

The US Is aiming to have an international stabilization force in Gaza by early next year, but countries have not yet publicly committed troops and there are still disagreements on where they'd patrol and what they do.

But many countries that are considering sending troops don't want them to confront Hamas over its weapons. The US Wants the international Stabilization Force to incorporate new Palestinian police officers as they're trained. The European Union plans to train them. A European official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told NPR most Palestinian police would likely begin training by April at the earliest in Daniel Estrin, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
