in central Israel. They'll be evaluated by a team of doctors and psychologists, at which point they'll be able to see more of their family members and friends who will likely come to the medical facility. This has been a day of anticipation for the Israeli people. We saw the images out of Hostage Square, people celebrating as they watched on screens the release of these young women from Hamas captivity. This all started this morning in Gaza City at Palestine Square. Hamas set up a stage
And they paraded these women across before transferring them to the Red Cross. Now, the hostages appeared to be in good condition. They were then taken to an IDF reunification point along the Gaza border. That's Fox's Trey Yinkst in Tel Aviv.
He had been viewed as a controversial choice for defense secretary. But Pete Hegseth ended up getting enough votes to be confirmed. Fox's Rich Edson has reaction from President Trump. From the tarmac in Los Angeles, President Trump addressed Pete Hegseth's then imminent confirmation. We have a great secretary of defense. We're very happy about that.
And we appreciate everybody's vote. Trump called Hegseth a good man, said he was surprised Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins would oppose him, and then previewed Senator Mitch McConnell's no vote, saying McConnell is always a no.
The two have had a strained relationship for years. President's unconventional choice to lead the Pentagon, a sprawling bureaucracy with more than $800 billion budget, was met with skepticism, even from some Republicans, due to the lack of experience managing something of that size and allegations of sexual assault and alcohol abuse. Hegseth denied that. America is listening to Fox News.

President Trump visited Nevada for the first time since his re-election to discuss his promise of no tax on tips. Fox's Madeline Rivera reports. President Trump won Nevada in November, partly because of his campaign promise to end taxes on tips. He's expected to try and drum up support for that campaign pledge today in Las Vegas. Trump's no tax on tips plan come as Republican lawmakers and Congress also try and hash out another top priority, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts.
House Republicans are likely to talk about the issue when they meet with the president for this three-day retreat in Florida starting on Monday. Trump's trip to Las Vegas comes after he toured the storm-ravaged state of North Carolina on Friday. He also visited California, where he was greeted at the tarmac in Los Angeles by the state's governor, Gavin Newsom. The two have sparred over the state's response to the wildfires, but Trump appeared to soften his tone on Friday, saying he had a very positive talk with Newsom.
The president's expected to hold an event in Las Vegas today and 2,000 people are expected to attend it.
The president's order ending birthright citizenship has hit a roadblock in federal court. An executive order would require at least one parent of a child born in the U.S. to be a law resident for American citizenship, redefining how the 14th Amendment has been understood for more than a century. Several lawsuits have been filed by immigrant rights groups and Democratic-led states. A federal judge already acted on one, temporarily blocking the president's executive order, describing it as blatantly unconstitutional.
President Trump says the administration will appeal. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News. It's a rare Saturday session for the U.S. Senate. A confirmation vote could come later this morning. To confirm Kristi Noem as Department of Homeland Security Secretary, the South Dakota governor is expected to receive bipartisan support for her confirmation. I'm Daria Albinger. This is Fox News.
