"we will own it." the u.s. will be responsible for dismantling the dangerous unexploded bombs, level the site and create economic development. just can't go back, the president said. now, the president saying this during a news conference this evening with the israeli prime minister. and this new suggestion that palestinians should leave comes just days after the world saw those images of hundreds of thousands of palestinians returning to north gaza, after so many months of war.

so, where would this beautiful piece of land someplace else be? and how will this work with the u.s. as the president suggested, taking over the gaza strip? our chief white house correspondent mary bruce leading you us off tonight. >> reporter: tonight standing next to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu president trump declaring that the united states would take over the gaza strip. >> the u.s. will take over the gaza strip, and we will do a job with it too. we'll own it. and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. do a real job. do something different. just can't go back. if you go back, it's going to end up the same way it has for 100 years. >> reporter: the big question, who would live there? earlier in the day trump saying

the palestinian residents of gaza should relocate elsewhere. >> it would be my hope that we could do something really nice, really good where they wouldn't want to return. why would they want to return? the place has been hell. it's been -- >> it's their home, sir. >> one of the meanest -- >> why should they leave? >> -- places on earth. >> reporter: but trump adamant. >> the only reason they want to go back and i believe this strongly is because there's no alternative. what's the alternative? go where? tlds no other alternative. if they had an alternative they'd much rather not go back to gaza and live in a beautiful alternative that's safe. >> reporter: trump saying egypt or jordan should take the palestinians in. but egypt and jordan have rejected that idea. today trump saying that's just talk. so again, david, the president tonight saying that the u.s. will take over the gaza strip, that the u.s. will own it and develop it. and he says he is willing to send in the u.s. military if necessary. and he made clear that palestinians should leave and relocate elsewhere. david p >> david: mary bruce leading us off the at the white house.

mary, thank you. the other developing headline at this hour we have learned the fbi has followed an order to turn over to the justice department a list of thousands of fbi agents and employees who worked on january 6th cases involving people who attacked the capitol and police. tonight, fbi agents now filing at least two lawsuits against the justice department, claiming the agents are now being targeted by their own department for doing their jobs investigating the horrific attack on the capitol and on officers. let's get right to our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas with us live. pierre, what have you learned? >> reporter: david, the fbi has just turned over information about thousands of its employees to doj headquarters, and it's causing an outcry. they say they simply acted on assignments given by their bosses and were following on court orders to investigate trump's handling of classified documents and to investigate and arrest those who participated in the violent attack on police officers at the capitol on january 6th. agents claim that a massive list about fbi employees is being compiled for justice department review and it's a violation of their privacy, does not allow

for due process, and raises the risk they'll b targeted by now pardoned by members of the mob. the two federal lawsuits are asking the court to stop collection and dissemination of information about all these employees, and also calls for the justice department to pay the legal bills for fbi personnel that they incur in what they believe is a totally unfair process, david. >> david: pierre thomas, thank you. with late reporting from washington. this evening, two of president trump's most controversial nominees clearing a major hurdle now on their path to confirmation. secretary of health and human services nominee robert f. kennedy jr. and director of national intelligence nominee tulsi gabbard both advancing out of committee today. tonight, rfk jr. overcoming the reservations of a key republican senator who is also a doctor. that senator now supporting rfk jr. the senator up for re-election. here's our senior political correspondent rachel scott. >> reporter: tonight, two of the president's most controversial nominees clearing key hurdles, on track for confirmation. as skeptical republican senators

fall in line. health secretary nominee robert f. kennedy jr. winning approval of the finance committee after the lone republican holdout, bill cassidy of louisiana, who is also a doctor, voted yes. >> mr. cassidy. >> aye. >> mr. cassidy, aye. >> reporter: cassidy had grilled kennedy over his years of spreading misinformation about vaccines. the senator acknowledged he was struggling with the nomination. but ultimately cassidy, who is facing re-election next year, fully aware of the pressure he could face for voting no. now giving kennedy his full support. >> ultimately restoring trust in our public health institution is too important, and i think mr. kennedy can help get that done. >> reporter: a few hours later, former congresswoman tulsi gabbard, trump's pick for director of national intelligence, passing a party line vote in the senate intelligence committee, despite republican concerns over her meeting with former syrian dictator bashar al assad and her refusal to call edward snowden a traitor.

gabbard and kennedy, two disruptors in a team of them. the leading figure, billionaire elon musk, who is out to reshape the government itself. his department of government efficiency staffed largely by young engineers. at least one of them just 19. have brought beds into their government offices. musk posting on x, "working the weekend is a super power." his team getting access to the treasury department's payment system, which processes trillions of dollars of the government's bills and includes the personal information of millions of americans. musk then seizing control of usaid, which provides humanitarian assistance around the world, helping an estimated 32 million children suffering malnutrition and bringing food, water, shelter, and health care to victims of natural disasters. usaid's $43 billion budget is a tiny fraction of what the government spends, about 1%. but musk, who is the world's richest man, posting, "we spent the weekend feeding usaid into the wood chipper." and tonight, sources tell abc

news that the state department is now starting to evacuate all usaid staff who are on foreign assignments worldwide. some 1,500 to 2,000 people. the goal is to bring all those workers and their families back to the united states by this weekend. on capitol hill, republicans applauding musk's goals. >> he's throwing out big ideas, and if anybody thinks that all these big ideas are going to be implemented to conclusion, they don't understand the process of disruption. >> reporter: but democrats sounding the alarm. >> it is unconscionable for him to be exercising this kind of influence and power that he is with his conflicts of interest and his financial benefits flowing to him from the kind of destructive impact. it's not disruptive, it's destructive. >> reporter: and the next target for elon musk, the department of education. musk already looking for sweeping changes and cuts. sources tell us that members of his team were spotted at the department this week, and tonight, president donald trump making it clear he wants to

abolish the department of education altogether, david. >> david: rachel scott live on the hill tonight. rachel, thank you. we're going to turn to other news now, this dangerous ice storm on the way. millions of americans in the path, from iowa, all the way over east to new york, right up to massachusetts. reaching the i-95 corridor tomorrow night right into thursday morning. it could bring a treacherous commute thursday for washington, d.c., philadelphia, new york, right up to boston. chief meteorologist ginger zee tracking it all for us here on a tuesday night. hi, ginger. >> reporter: hi, david. less than 24 hours now from des moines to boston, we're preparing for this ice storm to ramp up. so let's go ahead and talk about those winter weather advisories on the map and the ice storm warning in the allegheny mountains there from altoona down to snowshoe, west virginia. it's the timing you want to know, because anybody trying to travel in this could have major issues. they're saying in some parts, just don't do it. chicago, 1:00 a.m., you stop it there, all the way to columbus, ohio, that's when that freezing rain is happening, where the rain falls on a subfreezing surface and makes that glaze, like an ice skating rink. all the way across i-70, through

pennsylvania, south of state college, over to philadelphia. look at that time. 7:00 a.m., the morning commute. a burst of snow in new york city, and then the mix, and then eventually rain at the coast. boston, though, by the afternoon going to stick with the frozen stuff, david. >> david: so wednesday night into thursday morning could be a really messy commute. so ginger, thank you. we'll track it right here with you. we turn now to the crash over the potomac. tonight, search crews have now recovered the bodies of all 67 victims killed on that american airlines passenger jet and the black hawk helicopter. tonight, what we've now learned about the investigation, that they are now trying to sync up the black boxes from the plane and the black hawk. abc's gio benitez covers aviation. >> reporter: tonight, some closure for the families of that deadly air collision in washington, d.c. officials saying the remains of all 67 victims have now been recovered. throughout the day, salvage crews pulling more wreckage from the american airlines plane out of the potomac. the ntsb now working on a detailed timeline and synchronizing data from the

black boxes of both aircraft along with those atc communications. >> pat, 25 has aircraft in sight. >> reporter: the ntsb obtaining logs for both crews, saying the air traffic control group has completed interviews of all five staffed positions in the tower. the key question -- if the helicopter was flying higher than the allowed altitude of 200 feet around the airport, why? the most accurate flight data shows the crash happening at just over 300 feet. overnight, a moving water cannon salute on the runway. the body of american airlines flight attendant ian epstein flown to charlotte to be buried. and u.s. figure skating sharing this tribute, remembering the 28 athletes, coaches, and family members who were lost. and david, the ntsb says in order to confirm how high that helicopter was flying, they first have to pull it out of the river, and that could take days. david? >> david: gio benitez back with us tonight. gio, thank you. we turn now to the

jewelry. court records say nezhinskiy is linked to at least some of the suspected burglars now charged with breaking into burrow's home. >> where are you going right now? >> reporter: body camera video showing four chilean nationals questioned by police in ohio last month, an old lsu shirt and a bengals hat were found in the back of their car. these south american burglary crews have been operating in the country for years, and police say the two men arrested here today were the ones who created a marketplace for what they stole. they'll be in court here tomorrow, david. >> david: could potentially be an incredible connection. thank you, aaron, on that late reporting tonight. overseas tonight, the worst mass shooting in sweden's history. police responding to a report of shots fired at a school for adult education two hours from stockholm. students locked down in classrooms. alarms blaring. at least ten people killed, including the gunman. police say the suspect acted alone. there were no warning signs. and at this point, no indication that terror was the motive. we turn to gaza now, of course, in the news tonight, given president trump's comments that palestinians should now leave. tonight, as the fragile

cease-fire between hamas and israel holds, at least for now, our chief foreign correspondent ian pannell with the first access for an american news team flying over the devastation in gaza, with this cease-fire now in place. >> reporter: as president trump suggests palestinians should leave gaza, we get an up-close look at the urgent humanitarian effort under way, from the back of this black hawk helicopter. since the guns fell silent and hostages were exchanged, we're the first american news outlet to see jordan and others in the middle east conduct these mercy missions by air, hoping to ease a growing crisis. right now, we have jordan to our right, israel to our left. we're actually flying over the dead sea, with the royal jordanian air force. these troops are delivering this much-needed aid to gaza, which is just in the distance. after two long hours in the air, we finally touch down on the edge of gaza. the jordanian airmen rushing to get the aid on the ground under

the watchful eye of the israeli military in the distance. well, this is as far as we're allowed to go. the barbed wire is stopping us from entering further into gaza. but all around here, you can see the debris, the wreckage, the ruins of what used to be people's homes, people's lives. as we fly out, the impact of 15 months of war is stark. the bulldozered remains of a strip of land more than 2 million people still call home. david, despite president trump's comments today, there is almost universal opposition here in the middle east to the idea of moving people out of gaza. not least by the palestinians themselves. david? >> david: i know you'll continue to follow this. ian pannell, our chief foreign correspondent. ian, thank you. when we come back, here in the u.s. tonight, a huge block of ice falling from the sky, smashing through the roof of a home. of course, where did it come from? the faa now investigating this. also tonight, the famous chain now charging more because of the rising cost of eggs. and there's news tonight about tiger woods, his very personal loss, and what he's saying tonight about his mother. e to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms...
