A ceasefire approved. I'm Deborah Valentine, Fox News. Israel's cabinet has okayed a six-week ceasefire in Gaza, which includes a phased and prisoner exchange with Hamas beginning Sunday the 19th. The first phase calls for about 1,000 Palestinians to be released from Israeli jails, while 33 Israeli hostages are freed.
The deal executes afternoon on Sunday. American hostages are scheduled to be released in subsequent waves that ultimately return 98 remaining hostages. Roughly two thirds of them are presumed to be alive. The first stage also calls for a six week pause in the fighting. Aid trucks are scheduled to move into Gaza at the rate of 600 per day. And the agreement ultimately allows for the reconstruction of a devastated Gaza Strip.
That's Fox's Mike Tobin reporting from Tel Aviv, Israel. The New York Post reporting President-elect Trump will target sanctuary cities his second day in office as part of his controversial border security and immigration policies. Here's Fox's Chanley Painter. The Trump administration is planning large-scale deportations Tuesday on the first full day back in the White House.
Incoming borders are Tom Holman telling Fox News that ICE will be working across the country on day one. President-elect Trump may be targeting illegal immigration atop campaign promise, but the administration is expected to see significant pushback from so-called sanctuary cities.

The deadline looming for TikTok following Friday's ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court upholding a federal law banning TikTok unless it's sold to a U.S.-based company. The U.S. Supreme Court rules there is no freedom of speech issue in a law passed by Congress and signed by President Biden requiring China-based ByteDance to divest the U.S. operation of TikTok to a U.S.-based operator. And if no buyer comes by tomorrow, TikTok faces a ban within the U.S.
That ban does not mean the popular video-based social network will immediately cease to work, but it might be disconnected from TikTok's global servers, and videos may not aggregate as it won't be permitted to use the company's algorithm. The app could even disappear from app stores, meaning existing installs won't update. Eventually, the app would lose functionality.
Eben Brown, Fox News. President Biden announcing that the Equal Rights Amendment should be considered a part of the Constitution. Fox's Jackie Heinrich reports from Washington. Under the Constitution, presidents have no role in approving amendments, and the Equal Rights Amendment fell short of the states necessary to ratify it until 2020, when Virginia became the 38th state. But that was past the deadline imposed by Congress.
Biden's own Justice Department ruled the deadline enforceable as recently as 2022. The National Archivist is listening to Biden's DOJ, writing last month, quote, personal opinion or beliefs are not relevant. As the leaders of the National Archives, we support established legal processes and decisions. The president didn't order the National Archivist to certify the amendment. Supporters argue that the Constitution does not require any deadlines for an amendment to be ratified.
