we have team coverage this morning. let's start with abc news foreign correspondent tom soufi-burridge in sderot, israel, near the gaza border with the latest. tom, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, whit. we've been hearing the thud of israeli artillery firing out into gaza in the distance. there you can probably see the smoke. we've been hearing small arms fire just now. more explosions. i don't know if you can hear it write now actually, and jets overhead just minutes ago. the israeli military urging civilians in specific areas of gaza to leave their homes, but the civilian toll there mounting. the war here after that cease-fire is very much back on. overnight, israeli jets hitting southern gaza. the idf releasing video of air strikes claiming it destroyed more than 400 terror targets throughout the gaza strip since the week-long cease-fire collapsed friday. more than 200 people killed and many more hundreds wounded in just the past day according to

gaza's hamas-run health ministry. both israel and hamas blaming each other for the war reigniting. hamas launching rockets into southern israel and releasing this video showing militants launching drones. overnight news that six more israeli hostages held by hamas are now confirmed dead. with the war back on, the fate of another 130 hostages including eight americans hanging in the balance. hamas taking them in that audacious barbaric assault on october 7th, killing 1,200 people. this amid that bombshell "new york times" report suggesting israeli officials had access to hamas' plans a year ago. a u.s. official telling abc news that the u.s. intelligence community had no advance knowledge of the jericho wall document obtained by "the times," which detailed many of the hamas plans for the october 7th attack. >> there is going to be plenty of opportunity for a full accounting of what happened on october 7th including looking back to see what happened, who knew what when.

>> reporter: well, the explosions in gaza has really picked up in the last few seconds. we're hearing something ahead. you can see the smoke again. the idf's renewed campaign appears focused on southern gaza. that is where most of gaza's population has fled. the u.s. urging israel to do everything to limit civilian casualties. but, remember, that strip of land behind me is densely populated. whit? >> whit: and, tom, the families of those israeli hostages now back in that awful position of waiting as this war rages on. >> reporter: that's right, whit. yeah, tonight, we're expecting families of the hostages to hold another rally in tel aviv, and for the first time, we're told some of the released hostages themselves will be there adding their voice to the campaign. whit? >> whit: tom soufi burridge for us, thank you. erielle? >> erielle: in gaza the situation is getting more dire since the fighting resumed.

abc's ines de la cuetara is on the ground in southern israel with the latest. good morning, ines. >> reporter: good morning, erielle, and this is as close as we can get to gaza. we've been hearing those explosions all morning as israel resumes its air strikes. the death toll quickly rising amid fears humanitarian aid could also be restricted. this morning, with israel striking southern gaza, hospitals once again filling up. young children covered in blood and dust. this little girl crying out for her family. after a seven-day pause, the hamas-run gaza health ministry reporting already at least 200 people have been killed, close to 600 wounded. the u.n. says about 1.8 million people have already been displaced. now israel dropping leaflets urging people to move even further south warning that certain areas civilians had been told to go to are now no longer safe. we've been keeping in touch with this 24-year-old student, who is in khan yunis. >> it's worse than before the

truth. >> reporter: he says during the cease-fire they slept, they rested, but now fear and anxiety have returned. he said there is no food, no water, no electricity, nothing. life is very difficult, and growing concerns the humanitarian situation could get worse ahead of winter. according to a rafah border spokesman, no aid trucks were allowed into gaza friday. meanwhile, those hostages and palestinian prisoners now back in limbo. we sat down with 14-year-old abdul amir, the youngest palestinian prisoner to be released. while other newly freed prisoners may be celebrating, he has a long road to recovery ahead. he's wearing a hat to hide the fact that part of his skull is missing after he says he was shot by israeli police this summer. he says police accused him of throwing a molotov cocktail at a settler's house, which he denies. israel saying minors are imprisoned by court order for serious crimes. "i can't be completely happy i'm

free," he says, "when i know kids in gaza are suffering." and defense secretary lloyd austin says the u.s. has been urging israel in near daily conversations to do everything it can to protect civilian lives. gio? >> gio: thank you so much. here at home a dramatic scene outside the israeli consulate in atlanta when a protester appeared to set themselves on fire. a security guard also injured. abc's reena roy is here with the latest on that. good morning, reena. >> reporter: gio, good morning to you. police are calling this an extreme act of political protest, saying a palestinian flag was found at the scene of the fire. you can see burnt pieces of clothing and a security guard being put into an ambulance. all of this unfolding right outside the israeli consulate in downtown atlanta friday just after 12:00 p.m. police say that guard noticed someone stopped outside the building trying to light themselves on fire. he immediately jumped in and tried to stop the protester, but instead ended up getting burns on his wrist and leg, and that protester was taken to the hospital in critical condition. investigators say an officer was

able to respond quickly because of dedicated patrols at that location, along with other jewish and muslim areas in the city. the israeli consulate releasing a statement saying, it is tragic to see the hate and excitement expressed in such a horrific way. authorities say they don't believe there is any connection to terrorism. erielle? >> erielle: an awful scene there, reena. thank you. to that historic vote to oust george santos from congress. his name already removed from the 3rd congressional office door, and the locks have been changed. abc's em nguyen is live from washington with the reaction to that vote and what comes next. good morning, em. >> reporter: good morning, erielle. george santos is now the sixth lawmaker to ever be expelled from the house of representatives. he's gone over ethics violations, but some are questioning whether that was the right move. in a historic political spectacle, representative george santos embroiled in criminal and ethical investigations now kicked out of congress. the former long island

congressman leaving the capitol after almost all democrats and half of republicans voted to expel him telling reporters -- >> i no longer have to answer a single question for you guys. >> reporter: his expulsion came in the wake of a stunning report from the house ethics committee that found he allegedly stole thousands of dollars from his campaign to make payments for rent, vacations, botox treatments, and even onlyfans. >> i think the house did the right thing. >> reporter: many lawmakers say voters in new york's 3rd district now get a redo, especially after santos was caught lying about his education, career, and family background during his 2022 campaign. santos still faces 23 federal crimes including identity theft and accusations that he used his donors' credit cards to make unauthorized charges. all members of the house republican leadership voted against expelling santos knowing his departure would shrink their majority.

speaker mike johnson saying, getting rid of a lawmaker who hasn't been criminally convicted would set a dangerous precedent, but many rank and file members disagreed. >> i think the precedent is is that we're holding members of congress to a higher standard. >> reporter: republicans now have just a three-vote majority in the house making it tougher for speaker johnson to pass legislation, and in new york governor, kathy hochul must hold a special election within roughly the next three months to replace santos. whit? >> whit: all right. em nguyen for us, thank you. now to former president donald trump trying to get his georgia election interference case either dismissed or postponed. abc's senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky joins us now with the arguments made in the courtroom. aaron, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. his attorney argued putting former president trump on trial in georgia over the last presidential election would amount to interference in the next one. this morning, former president trump wants the election subversion case in georgia thrown out, appearing in court

for the first time since trump pleaded not guilty to racketeering and other charges, his defense attorney arguing his actions to overturn his 2020 loss in georgia were protected political speech. >> you take the facts as alleged in the indictment throughout the rico count, and when you do that as applied constitutionally with the first amendment, you find that it violates free speech, freedom of petitioning, all the expressions that the first amendment is designed to protect. >> reporter: the fulton county district attorney's office said it is not prosecuting political speech. its case is bigger. >> it's a prosecution for solicitation of violence of both office, false statement in writings, impersonating public officers, and the list goes on and on. >> reporter: trump and 18 others were charged over the summer with conspiring to overturn the election results in georgia. four of his co-defendants have pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate. prosecutors want to go to trial in august, but trump's defense saying, that is too close to the 2024 election.

>> can you imagine the notion of the republican nominee for president not being able to campaign for the presidency because he is in some form or fashion in a courtroom defending himself? >> reporter: there was no immediate ruling from the judge about the trial date or, whit, trump's attempt to dismiss. >> whit: and, aaron, there's also news about the former president and january 6th. a court ruling trump can be sued for allegedly inciting the riot on the capitol. >> reporter: he can, whit. the d.c. circuit court of appeals rejected trump's claim that he's immune from civil 4r50ib89 for january 6th because he was president at the time. the appellate court deciding trump's campaign to re-election is not an official presidential act. this means capitol police officers who were injured that day and several democratic members of congress can sue trump for damages. one other note, whit, in the criminal case involving january 6th, the judge rejected trump's attempt to dismiss that. whit?

>> whit: all right. something to watch closely, aaron, thank you. gio? >> gio: now to a "gma" health alert. the holidays are right around the corner, and cases of respiratory illness are on the rise. 11 states plus new york and puerto rico are experiencing high or very high levels of respiratory illness activity. there are a few reasons why, and here to break it all down is abc medical correspondent, dr. darien sutton. good to see you. glad you're here. it's that time of year. we've got a lot of coughing. we've got a lot of sneezing. what's behind the rise? >> we're seeing an increased rate of children presenting to local emergency departments with cough, sneezing and runny nose, all these symptoms of presidential infection, which is true but, there's reassuring news and following with the w.h.o., cdc and my emergency medicine colleagues is the pathogens, the viruses causing these infections are not new, things like rsv and commonly why the children come in with the

symptoms, it's probably a multitude of things including cold weather, increased travel and we also have evidence covid decreases our immune response which makes us more susceptible to infection and even infections like mycoplasma, which has been reportedly seen in china. we're seeing an unfortunate combination of all these factors and why these numbers are increasing. >> gio: i know you're also following these cases of childhood pneumonia. what do parents need to know about that? >> it's short and simple. examining your child. very common for children to have respiratory infections, especially during the wintertime, so for infants, having difficulty like if they're grunting and wheezing and skin is changing, or if you notice they're belly breathing with deep breaths and the abdomen is moving, those are signs of respiratory distress there need to be evaluated. older children, talk to them. if they're taking a lot of breaks in between sentences or notice they are wheezing or if they're having a lot of difficulty catching their breath, these are also reasons,

but for the most part, gio, you can treat your symptoms from the comfort of your own home, basic fever-reducing medications, water, hydration, key things you need to keep in mind. >> gio: important to know that. how do we stay safe this season? >> washing our hands, wearing our masks when we're in high-risk environments, getting updated in flu and covid vaccines, and taking advantage of free covid tests available in the united states at covidtest.gov. if you find it's negative the first few days, test again 24 to 48 hours later just to make sure. >> gio: all right. always breaking it down with good information. thank you, dr. darien sutton. appreciate you being here. whit? >> whit: gio, we're heading back overseas now to the cop28 climate conference and efforts to address global warming. abc's lama hasan has more from london. lama, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, and good morning to you, whit. a major announcement this morning. an announcement saying the u.s. will reduce methane emissions over the next five years with five oil companies vowing to take part vowing to cut them by

80% over the next five or six years. this is a big deal because methane is potent and has been described as climate change's blowtorch blamed for 30% of the earth's warming. because it only lasts for about a decade in the atmosphere, stopping it now will have a swift impact on global warming. u.s. and chinese officials already agreeing to commit a methane summit during the conference, but so china refuses to join the pledge. the timing of this announcement is particularly poignant. the u.n. declaring this year to be the warmest on record with global temperatures rising 1.5 degrees celsius above preindustrial levels. the agreement is expected to have minimal impact on consumers. experts say even a small decrease in methane can have a big impact on earth's global trajectory. gio? >> gio: truly big news out of that. all right, lama, thank you so much. time now for the weather.

somara theodore is here and what a gorgeous picture you have behind you there. >> somara: this is a planet worth saving, gio. look at this. this is undnew underwood, south dakota. it's making me emotional. this is the aurora borealis. our eyes usually pick up green. that's why you see it so prominently there. we're getting solar particles interacting with the oxygen and the nitrogen and truly amazing. a different scene, though, in new orleans, louisiana. they had flash flooding occurring there. two inches per hour, in fact, and these storms are not only dumping hefty totals of rain, but they're bringing the threat of severe weather to our friends in pensacola, our family out in panama city, damaging winds, heavy rain, and the threat for isolated tornadoes looms today. then the storm tracks up i-95 through the delmarva peninsula overnight and into the new york tri-state area and new england by tomorrow morning. we're also seeing a snow component to this system. so up into burlington, vermont, maine, upstate new york, they could see anywhere from half a

foot to a foot or more of snow through monday night. that's a look at the weather across the country. let's see >> somara: and that, my friends, is your local forecast. and if you were on the east coast, it was rainy yesterday. rain coming in today. today is the day to get everything done. >> whit: okay. >> erielle: good to know. >> whit: a few more christmas lights to hang up. >> erielle: i can't believe that given how many you probably already have up. >> whit: probably have a couple more. >> erielle: now to the passing of an american icon. sandra day o'connor died at the

age of 93. she blazed a trail for women on the court and beyond. overnight, tributes pouring in for sandra day o'connor, the first woman to serve on the u.s. supreme court. congress observing a moment of silence in her honor on the house floor. o'connor died friday at the age of 93 from complications related to advanced dementia, probably alzheimer's, and a respiratory illness. she served for nearly a quarter century under five presidents. >> it's hard to be the only woman on the court, which i experienced for about ten years or so. >> reporter: described as the ultimate pragmatist, o'connor often found herself at the center of a deeply divided court and cast the decisive vote on scores of cases on issues ranging from affirmative action to the death penalty for juveniles to abortion, to the 2000 election where she voted to stop the recount in florida and thus gave the white house to george w. bush. >> well, we wish we could go

through life not deciding cases that cause anguish among a wide percentage of our citizens, but that isn't always going to be. >> reporter: justice o'connor announced her retirement in 2005. in 2009 president barack obama presented o'connor with the medal of freedom, the highest civilian honor in the united states. in the end, the most important thing to her was the opinion of her fellow justices of her as a person. >> i hope they'd say she's a friend and a good colleague. >> reporter: sandra day o'connor was 93, and in his public farewell, chief justice john roberts saying o'connor was a towering figure in the history of the united states and, indeed, around the world. she said it was hard to be the first, but she certainly encompassed all the dreams of so many women and beyond. >> whit: the first, definitely not the last. an incredible legacy, indeed. still ahead here on "gma," the hunt for a serial killer in los angeles targeting the

homeless. what police are telling them not to do. plus, the stock market is soaring. what it could mean for the economy and the president's hope for re-election. that's coming up in this week's political rundown. >> gio: and aaron rodgers getting back to work on and off the field. how he's reconnecting with jets fans. that's our "play of the day." we'll be right back. you're watching "gma" on a saturday morning. whoa! the new iphone 15. with that amazing camera. i wish my family had them. zoe! you're an action star... take action! join t-mobile and get four new iphone 15 on them, and four lines for $25 bucks a line. with that camera, i'll be sharing pics from the slopes. you do not want to see yourself skiing! hey, i'm good at skiing?... your stuntwoman is. this holiday at t-mobile get four new iphone 15 on us, and four lines of unlimited for $25 bucks a line. what do you think of the jacket? you look like a marshmallow. at t.j.maxx, you can go above and beyond, and stay under budget.

everyone, welcome. everyone, welcome. >> whit: welcome back to "gma" on this saturday morning. "renaissance: a film by beyonce" is now showing at theaters worldwide. queen bey's highly anticipated concert film beat early expectations earning more than $5 million just in thursday previews, the previews.

the movie is expected to bring in between $30 million and $40 million globally in this opening weekend. gio, you saw it. you liked it? >> gio: i helped with those previews. >> erielle: you did. >> gio: let me tell you, it is an amazing, amazing film. >> whit: did you wear the silver and the -- >> gio: i was toned down. everyone else was. it was a party. >> erielle: you were dancing, don't lie. >> gio: let's take a look at some of the other big stories we're following on this saturday morning here. happening right now, republican presidential hopefuls ron desantis and donald trump will both be stumping in iowa this weekend. desantis looking to complete his promise of visiting all of iowa's 99 counties. trump stepping up his television ads in the state after iowa's governor kim reynolds endorsed desantis. the iowa caucuses are six weeks away. >> whit: also right now, police in los angeles are searching for a possible serial killer they say is targeting the homeless in los angeles. three homeless people have been murdered in separate shootings across the city since sunday. each was sleeping alone or on a sidewalk or alley. the city's mayor urging homeless to seek shelter.

>> erielle: and she left him home alone not once but twice more than 30 years ago. actress catherine o'hara was right there to celebrate her co-star, macaulay culkin as he got his star on the hollywood walk of fame. the two famously played mother and son in "home the sequel in 1992. >> gio: kevin! >> whit: we saw "home alone 2" the other night. >> erielle: great holiday movie. >> whit: we start with a look at this week's top political headlines, and abc news white house correspondent maryalice parks is back with us once again in new york. good morning to you. >> hi. good morning. >> whit: we got a lot to talk about. getting buzz was the battle of the governors, florida governor ron desantis debating california governor gavin newsom. newsom taking a parting shot at the end saying neither one of them would be the party's nominee in 2024. why did desantis do this? was this good for him in the end?

>> i don't think it helped him, but i don't think it helped democrats either. ron desantis surprisingly can look uncomfortable even on his own home turf. i felt like that when i was covering the primary debate in his hometown in florida. this was on fox news. this debate with gavin newsom was with sean hannity. it should have been his arena but moment after moment i thought he looked awkward, was struggling to get his words out. i think that governor newsom did come across rather commanding. you were just talking about iowa. it is coming up. the caucus is coming up in 45 days. governor desantis really has to deliver there. he has the endorsement of the governor. it's going to be a make or break state for him. but, look, with democrats, my sources in the democratic party tell me this is the strategy. that biden doesn't have to be everywhere campaigning everywhere. they have surrogates like newsom out there that can stand in, but, of course, the risk is having the understudy outshine the lead. >> erielle: all right. we got to talk about the big

elephant in the room. george santos expelled from congress. only the sixth time it's happened in u.s. history, and we'll have the special election in new york. >> the other three times this first happened was in the buildup to the civil war, and we're talking about people expelled for congress for being disloyal to the union. two others that were convicted of serious corruption charges, this is rare. you were talking about the special election. voters will get to pick a new member of congress. interesting, there won't be a primary election in that -- the county parties will nominate someone. you can imagine republicans are going to be very careful who they pick. this is a seat where president biden won easily, so democrats think this is a pickup opportunity for them. but i was struck by something i read from david axelrod. he was the former obama strategist and he said that while he thought that the expulsion of santos was warranted and was bipartisan, he said he didn't think it should be normalized as a political weapon, because, of course, santos hadn't yet been convicted of a crime. i think there is a sense in washington that this should be a very rare occurrence.

>> erielle: and a lot of republicans felt that way. >> gio: a lot of people are going to be watching that. okay, so let's talk about the economy, because we're getting good news about the economy. the stock market closing out its best month in more than a year. that's pretty good news as you're heading into election. >> big picture, there is a lot for voters to feel good about with this economy. we've seen inflation starting to ease. the job market moderating but still good and strong. hopes this week that maybe interest rates will finally start to be cut. i think that president biden and the white house has been a little frustrated that some of those positive numbers like a stock market rally aren't necessarily breaking through. i was struck by how many headlines there were yesterday about the potential of this soft landing, this idea that we might actually be able to figure out how to bring inflation down as a country without triggering a recession, but the president did say yesterday that he thought he -- he knows, he said, that prices are still high for people. i mean, that's the reality. people are frustrated with the

high mortgage rates, and he actually called out corporations for that and say they're still engaged in price gouging. >> gio: maryalice parks, as always, a pleasure to have you here. thank you so much. time now for the weather, and somara theodore is back, and you have the snow. >> somara: this is giving what the young kids are calling main character energy. i feel like i'm in a hallmark movie. what's the story, guys? meteorologist goes and gets stuck up there on tracking the snow. so this is leavenworth, washington. they saw like four inches, winter wonderland there, but they're in for more in the northwest. look at these rounds of storms battering the west coast. this is the upcoming week, so this is prompting a ton of watches, warnings, alerts. we have winter weather advisories in parts of nevada. flood watches up to seattle, right? we have winter storm warnings through idaho down towards santa fe. high wind alerts. a lot going on with this storm system, so we could see anywhere from a half a foot to a foot of snow, but also along the coastline, 5 to 15 i

and >> somara: and that's your local forecast. now, whit, i said leavenworth, washington. did i get that right? i know you started near yakima. right? >> whit: yakima. i believe that's correct.

for the georgia/alabama game and joining us this morning is former quarterback and heisman trophy winner, tim tebow. tim, good morning to you. great to have you today. >> good morning to you, as well. thank you for having me. i really appreciate it. what an exciting day of college football. >> whit: right, exactly. we'll get right into it. what can we expect to see from the two heavyweights, talking about georgia and alabama in the s.e.c. championship? >> well, i think you always got to start with the two head coaches. you got great and then you got the greatest and what kirby smart's been doing is incredible, winning the last 29. the run he's been on, it is surreal and then you have nick saban who is probably the greatest of all time. it's always got to start with that matchup. but then we have to remind ourselves that most of these players in a year or two will be playing in the nfl.

this mow -- also i have to mention these two quarterbacks, these two quarterbacks are playing at such a high level. jalen milroe and carson beck. there's a lot to keep in mind there. >> whit: we mentioned the huge day of games. how about texas? how important is it for texas to impress? >> i think it is super important. i think it's vital. not just enough to win against a good team in oklahoma state and stop their running back, but they're going to have to win and win impressively because it's also about how they look. it is a beauty pageant for texas. it's not just about winning. it's about how you look and they need to look really, really good because if alabama wins and florida state wins, then it's going to be a beauty pageant about not which one is deserving, but which one looks better to be able to vie for that fourth spot. >> whit: let's talk about this interesting situation with fsu. undefeated but it's not certain that they will get into the college football playoff. >> whit: let's talk about fsu.

undefeated but it's not certain that they will get into the college football playoff. how do you see it playing out? >> pretty crazy and unprecedented for an ccc champion, if they win tonight to possibly not get in, i don't think that will happen. i think the committee will probably let them be in. but i think the conversation is supposed to be around the four best. and with fsu not having their star quarterback in jordan travis, one of the guess players and with him being out, with a hurt leg, it's a different football team. and the committee has to take that into account and so if alabama is able to win this afternoon, if texas is able to dominate this afternoon i think the committee has to look back and say their mandate is to pick the four best states. could florida state be one of them? absolutely.

but i think there is a conversation. >> whit: so many layers to that one. tim, before we let you go, we understand you'll be officially inducted into the 2023 college football hall of fame next week. congratulations to you. [ applause ] how does that feel? >> well, it's humbling. it's an honor. so grateful. and just the one thing that i would say is, when you play football, what's so special about it is you can't accomplish anything by yourself. it really does take a team. you know why a quarterback can be successful because of a great offensive line and coaches and backs, and we were special at my time in florida to do fun things, but it's because we had a whole team of incredible young men and coaches and just so honored and proud to be a part of that time. >> whit: teamwork makes the dream work. tim tebow, we always appreciate it. thank you so much. >> i've heard that before. >> whit: right, yeah. future hall of famer, we'll talk to you soon. again, you can catch tim tebow
