Democratic Party lobbyists for Israel worry that Trump isn't consulting with Israeli leaders and won't take on Iran. There have been no phone calls between the two recently, says former ambassador Daniel Shapiro. While Michael Koplow says Israel used to have the sense that there was a "larger US umbrella that will prevent things from getting too far out of hand" in Lebanon and Syria, but they don't feel that way now.

YUMNA PATEL
Israeli forces shot and killed a young Palestinian man outside his home today in the al-Arroub refugee camp in the southern occupied West Bank district of Hebron. A video, published by Quds News Network, shows Omar al-Badawi, reported to be 22-years-old, slowly exiting an alleyway next to his home and waving a white towel -- seemingly to indicate to soldiers that he meant no harm.
