Though Israel has not issued any formal comments regarding an alleged ceasefire with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, authorities have begun to relax security restrictions and urge Israelis to start returning to normal.
No rockets have been fired since 4:30 a.m., and Israel’s Home Front Command has lifted all restrictions for Gaza border residents.
Hamas confirmed that “intensive diplomatic efforts” were brokered by the United Nations, Qatar and Egypt, and reported an agreement on Al-Aqsa TV.
Economy and Industry Minister Eli Cohen announced that workers and business owners in areas affected by the bombing are eligible for financial assistance, including compensation.

The United States may review its ties with countries it deems as being anti-Israel after what a US envoy said on Sunday was a shift in policy toward equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a March speech that anti-Zionism — opposition to Israel’s existence as a homeland for the Jewish people — was a form of antisemitism, or hostility toward Jews, that was on the rise worldwide and that Washington would “fight it relentlessly.”
The State Department’s special envoy for monitoring and combating antisemitism, Elan Carr, said this US position could spell reviews of ties with foreign governments or leaders.

Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee said they will vote Wednesday on whether to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress after Barr missed a deadline to produce a complete version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
The panel had set a deadline of 9 a.m. Monday for Barr to provide the unredacted version of Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. It announced the planned vote in a statement Monday.

Rep. Ilhan Omar appeared to take the side of Hamas and Islamic Jihad Sunday night after terrorists fired hundreds of rockets at civilian targets in Israel by Hamas this weekend.
“How many more protesters must be shot, rockets must be fired, and little kids must be killed until the endless cycle of violence ends? The status quo of occupation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unsustainable. Only real justice can bring about security and lasting peace,” the Minnesota Democrat said in a tweet Sunday night.
Omar’s comments follow terrorists firing over 600 rockets into southern Israel, killing at least four Israelis. Israeli counterstrikes at what the Israel Defense Forces said were military targets killed at least a dozen Palestinians.

Former President Trump lawyer Michael Cohen is scheduled to check in Monday at a federal lockup in Otisville, NY, where he will begin serving a three-year stint for crimes including campaign finance violations tied to hush-money payments made on Trump’s behalf.
Cohen, 53, who once vowed to “take a bullet” for Trump, whom he now calls a “con man,” will step inside the medium-security Federal Correctional Facility Otisville, in the Catskills about 70 miles from Manhattan, by his 2 p.m. deadline.
Cohen will be housed in dorm-like accommodations at the camp, which prison consultants say has become a destination for Jewish inmates due to its proximity to the Big Apple’s Jewish and upstate’s Orthodox Jewish enclaves.

Last month, Beresheet, the first Israeli spacecraft, successfully orbited the moon but then crash-landed on the moon’s surface. However, that fact isn’t deterring the Israeli government from trying twice as hard the second time around.
Minister of Science, Technology and Space Ofir Akunis (Likud) announced on Sunday that the Israeli Space Agency (ISA) in the Ministry of Science will double its support for the Beresheet 2 project to NIS 20 million ($5.6 million), in comparison to the NIS 10 million it granted Beresheet 1.
Akunis also announced that the ISA has signed a contract with NASA to continue to assist SpaceIL (the Israeli nonprofit behind Beresheet) with its second launch.

President Donald Trump announced his choice to lead U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Sunday, tapping a former FBI official who frequently appears on cable news advocating for the president’s immigration policies.
In a tweet, Trump called Mark Morgan, who briefly ran the U.S. Border Patrol under President Barack Obama, “a true believer and an American Patriot. He will do a great job!”
Trump, who has made tougher immigration enforcement a pillar of his presidential campaign and his administration, recently pulled the nomination of his previous choice to run ICE, saying he wanted to go in “a tougher direction.”
