22:00Now PlayingIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and special envoy Jared Kushner agreed that the Gaza Strip’s “demilitarization” should start with Hamas handing over weapons under the supervision of an American military general, according to a senior Israeli official familiar with their hourslong meeting Monday. NBC News International Correspondent Matt Bradley explains why that meeting could be a signal that relations are thawing between President Donald Trump and Israel. He also explains the situation in the occupied West Bank, where Jewish Israeli settlers have been harassing Palestinians. Then, we’re kicking off a new NBC News series, "Drive to Decision Day." It’s a six-day, 1,700-mile road trip to some of the most competitive districts in the upcoming midterms. Senior National Politics Reporter Jon Allen is on the ground in New Jersey’s toss-up 7th District trying to understand how voters are reacting to Rep. Tom Kean’s 100-day absence from Congress and whether a Democrat could ultimately oust him. And, in the wellness world, the hottest health trend is Poop Positivity. Dr. Trisha Pasricha, a gastroenterologist, details the do’s and don'ts of a healthy bathroom break and why it’s important to have toilet talk.
