cbs' jarred hill is here with the details. good morning. let's talk about this prisoner release. certainly good news, but has the president said yet what the u.s. gave up in exchange? >> reporter: fogel last night was essentially in shock it seemed after getting released from a russian prison. there was nothing that president trump said about the deal itself. he pretty much shied away there the details. it was, though, a promise that trump made to fogel's 95-year-old mother over the summer when she spoke to him at a rally in butler, pennsylvania, site of the attempt on his life. after 3.5 years in russian captivity, american marc fogel is back on u.s. soil. >> i feel like the luckiest man on earth right now. >> reporter: president trump welcomed the pennsylvania schoolteacher to the white house last night. >> great to have you back. you're going to have a great life. >> reporter: in 2021 he was arrested at a moscow airport for carrying a small amount of marijuana for back pain.

the white house hasn't offered deals on what it gave up in exchange but said it was a sign of goodwill in dealings with ukraine. >> not like deals you've seen over the years. they were very fair. >> reporter: during a meet with king abdullah trump doubled down on the proposal for the u.s. to take over and redevelop gaza, a plan that calls for palestinians to be removed with the no right to return. >> we're going hold it. we're going to cherish it. >> reporter: king abdullah posted on social media, rebuilding gaza without displacing the palestinians and addressing the dire humanitarian situation should be the priority for all. meanwhile, in the oval office, elon musk, head of the president's department of government efficiency or doge, defended efforts to cut government jobs and slash federal spending. >> we are moving fast. we will make mistakes, but we will fix them quickly. >> reporter: the trump administration is facing lawsuits challenging doge's cuts and its access to sensitive government files.

you know, speaking of those cuts, one day after usaid's inspector general reported that the cuts to the agency put about half a billion dollars in food assistance at risk of spoiling, he was fired in an email. last night president trump hinted another american being held in captivity overseas could be released today, although no specifics on what. back to you. >> all right. jarred hill, thank you. turning now to the middle east and the fragile cease-fire. israel threatened to resume the war after hamas said it would delay the next release of hostages it holds in gaza. and as that truce holds stall is -- holding israel in the west bank. chris livesay reports from the west bank town of jenin. >> reporter: you might think this is gaza -- [ gunfire ] but this is the occupied west bank. and jenin is the epicenter of violence. our journey was an odyssey of closed roads and checkpoints.

but just impossible for regular palestinians. israel says dozens of terrorists have been killed, but there were civilian deaths, too. laila was just 2. her favorite game was hide and seek. the israeli military said they were positioned outside her house looking for terrorists and warned people to come outside. when no one answered, they followed procedure and opened fire, they said. four bullet holes, a bloody towel and empty bed are all that's left. laila was hit in the back of her head, says her grandmother. we carried her outside and asked the soldiers why did you kill a child? >> i am sorry. >> reporter: you said "i am sorry." her mother kissed her goodbye, and her grandfather carried her tiny body to her grave. chris livesay, cbs news, tel aviv.
