Live from NPR News in Washington, Ankurva Coleman, a new series of Israeli airstrikes today has killed at least 64 Palestinians in Gaza, according to Gaza hospital officials. As NPR's Daniel Estrin reports from Tel Aviv, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will hold talks for a ceasefire, but will not end the war.

In a meeting this week with a group of Israeli soldiers, Netanyahu said Israel would, quote, complete the course in Gaza and would pause the war if Hamas releases around 10 of the 20 hostages believed to be alive. We'd take the hostages and afterwards we'd enter back in, Netanyahu said. There's no way we will stop the war. Israeli officials are in Qatar, holding a second day of talks about a Gaza ceasefire. Israel said it would only negotiate under fire,

and airstrikes continue. Nisya Trump! In a Gaza morgue, Israa Macbeal mourned her brothers, who were killed along with their children in a strike on their home. She blamed President Trump, crying, Why Trump?

Why are you doing this to us? Daniel Estrin, NPR News, Tel Aviv, with NPR's. NPR's Scott Horsley reports the Dow Jones industrials rose 40 points in early trading. OPEX says it expects the US and other major oil producers to invest less money drilling new wells this year in response to lower oil prices. The cartel still expects the US

to boost oil production in 2025, but not expects the U.S. to boost oil production in 2025, but not by as much as it had been forecasting. Crude oil prices in the U.S. are hovering around $63 a barrel. That's below the average price needed to justify drilling a new well, according to companies surveyed by the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank. Retail gasoline prices jumped more than two cents a gallon overnight. Gas prices are still down, however, from this time last year. Asian stocks were mostly higher overnight. Up in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Seoul, stocks in Tokyo were slightly lower. Scott Horsley in Pernews, Washington. This is NPR. It's already 74 degrees in San Antonio, Texas this morning, and it will get hotter today.

The National Weather Service has put parts of southern and central Texas under extreme heat warnings. Temperatures will hit triple digits by this afternoon. After being banned for life, the late Pete Rose and shoeless Joe Jackson could finally be headed for baseball's Hall of Fame. Major League Baseball has reinstated those two players along with more than a dozen others. As NPR's Becky Sullivan reports, most had been involved in gambling or game fixing. Commissioner Rob Manfred decided to posthumously reinstate them saying players who have died are no longer a threat to the

integrity of the game. Pete Rose is the Major League's all-time hits leader. He was permanently banned in 1989 after revelations that he had bet on dozens of Cincinnati Reds games and hundreds of other MLB games while he was the Reds' manager. Rose died last fall after years of petitioning baseball officials to be reinstated. The other major hall of fame possibility is shoeless Joe Jackson, who was among the best in baseball during his prime. He was one of eight Chicago White Sox banned for allegedly taking bribes from gamblers to throw the 1919 World Series. Becky Sullivan, NPR News. The National Football League says it's pausing its program meant to promote diversity hiring

practices in NFL head coaching and front offices. The next event in the NFL's accelerator program was set for next week in Minnesota. It would have allowed coaching candidates from diverse backgrounds to meet team owners at league meetings. The NFL says its accelerator program needs to be revamped and that it will return next year.
