administration. not just traditional republicans like those he turned to back then. >> norah: how much of a fundamental shift will it be? >> reporter: this is a seismic shift in american policy. it's an overhaul, potentially based on my conversations today of the executive branch. president-elect trump wants loyalists and there and he also wants people who are willing to shake it up. that means the intelligence agencies, national security agency, the cia, the state department. what's going on at the federal trade commission? all of it will have trump's fingerprints on policy and attitude. >> norah: it's interesting with this cabinet and other figures, they will be able to get them conference because of the republican majority in the u.s. senate? >> reporter: and many u.s. senators told me today they are already speaking to president-elect trump on quickly moving on confirmations and if they think someone will be tricky, they are ready to have certain nominees act as acting secretary spread they want to get moving on the agenda even if the confirmations get stalled in

>> norah: donald trump promised on the campaign trail that he would end the wars and both the middle east and ukraine. we have two reports from overseas tonight. cbs's imtiaz tyab a standby on the ukraine-polish border, but let's look at the middle east.

in cbs's holly williams reporting from tel aviv. >> reporter: good evening, norah. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke with president-elect to donald trump or 20 minutes tonight according to the israelis leader's office discussing this security. and in a statement, netanyahu congratulated trump in the warmest of terms, calling the "huge victory history's greatest comeback." their reaction is probably not surprising given strains in the relationship between netanyahu and to the biden administration over the war in gaza. remember also that trump was a staunch supporter of israel during his first term. but trump has repeatedly said that israel should finish the war. we don't know what that will mean in concrete terms, but netanyahu seems determined to keep fighting even firing his defense minister yesterday in part because of differences over the wars goals. norah. >> norah: holly williams, thank you. let's turn now to the other war that could be profoundly

impacted by the incoming trump white house and that's the war and ukraine. here cbs's imtiaz tyab. >> reporter: norah, good evening. throughout his campaign, president-elect trump has repeatedly promised to negotiate a peace between russia and ukraine. following moscow's war in kiev would end in "24 hours." in september he said his plan was to get ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy and russian leader vladimir pollutant into a room and have the deal worked out. but it's not clear how he will achieve that or when. as zelenskyy continues to insist that ukraine is not up for grabs and kyiv would not accept a deal that would allow prudent to keep any annexed territory, whatever the case, the new trump presidency will test not only nato but europe as a whole. and one of the campaign videos he spoke about the need to fundamentally reit evaluate nato's purpose and nato's issue.
