The New York Giants have hired John Harbaugh as coach, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Harbaugh joins the Giants 11 days after he was fired by the Baltimore Ravens.

He gives New York a proven winner after seven coaches since Tom Coughlin failed to get past the divisional round.

Israel’s government is objecting to a White House announcement about leaders overseeing the next steps in Gaza as the ceasefire enters its challenging second phase. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Saturday the Gaza executive committee was not coordinated with Israel. It's rare criticism from Israel of its close ally in Washington.

One member is the foreign minister of Turkey, which has a strained relationship with Israel but good relations with Hamas. The ceasefire's second phase focuses on deployment of an international security force, disarmament of Hamas and reconstruction.

As its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis intensifies, the Trump administration is leaning into messaging that borrows from phrases, images and music about national identity that have become popular among right-wing groups. The various social media posts have come from the White House and at least two federal agencies. One from the White House that says: “Which way, Greenland man” refers to a meme that riffs off the title of a notorious white supremacist book titled “Which Way Western Man?” that for years has created enthusiasm among white supremacist groups, who see his nationalist and anti-immigrant stance as validating their own. A White House spokeswoman says those on the left claim that “everything they dislike must be Nazi propaganda.”

The family of a 23-year-old Iranian college student believes she was killed by a bullet fired by Iranian security forces.
