Transcript

[Dave Anthony]

This is a FOX News alert, a day of celebration in the Middle East. I'm Dave Anthony. That's in Gaza where the war appears to be ending in Israel.

[Gil Dickman]

Singing, dancing, fireworks in the street.

[SimpliSafe Advertiser]

I want to thank President Trump for bringing this amazing victory.

[Gil Dickman]

Gil Dickman's cousin was killed in captivity, but he's joyful that others will return home safe.

[Dave Anthony]

As fox's Jonathan Savage the president got a coalition of countries to back the plan that Israel and Hamas have agreed to from Europe to the Middle East. And he tells fox's Hannity even Iran.

[Jonathan Savage]

They agree with the deal and they bless the deal. That's a tremendous thing. I believe if they had a nuclear weapon, there would be a whole different even if we made the deal, it would be, it would have literally, it would have a very dark cloud over it.

[Dave Anthony]

And once Israel's government signs off today, a ceasefire goes into effect in Gaza.

[Steve Harrigan]

They will respond if attacked, but basically taking up a defensive posture right now. So certainly an excellent sign, cease fire in this two year war. From the Israeli Trump saying the 48 hostages will be coming home on Monday. What we're going to see here next will be an Israeli cabinet meeting. It's likely that most or all of those cabinet members will sign off on this deal. And then over the next 24 hours, we're likely to see the Israeli military redeploy inside of Gaza moving back to a predetermined line.

[Dave Anthony]

Fox's Steve Harrigan in Tel Aviv. There's a hearing in federal court today in Illinois over the National Guard deployment in suburban Chicago to help protect immigration agents after anti ICE protests. But Democrats in the state filed to stop the troops from being involved. Border czar Tom Holman tells Fox we're.

[Tom Holman]

There to make this city safer. And you think Governor Pritzker and the Mayor Johnson, the number one responsibility is protection of their communities. Remove public safety threats from the public. We're there to do that and we're not going to stop doing it.

[Dave Anthony]

It's day nine of the government shutdown as the stalemate over funding continues in Congress. America's listening to Fox News.

[Dave Anthony]

While the war in Gaza appears to be ending, with Israel and Hamas agreeing to the first phase of a ceasefire plan, the Senate held a hearing on national security and how one of our biggest dangers lurks online.

[Alyssa Slotkin]

Michigan Democratic Senator Alyssa Slotkin noted how the Internet has changed the approach to military issues.

[SimpliSafe User]

The future of warfare may not be tanks and airframes, but really data.

[Alyssa Slotkin]

And who controls that data. Witnesses testified that the country's enemies no longer have to search very hard for that data. Justin Sherman is a cybersecurity expert.

[Gil Dickman]

We are unfortunately significantly behind when it comes to recognizing the threats these pose to the United States, he added. Foreign adversaries such as China and Russia are readily investing to be able to exploit these vulnerabilities, senator Slotkin said.

[Alyssa Slotkin]

That includes individuals, personal data, even if they're not in the military.

[Dave Anthony]

Kevin Yoretsky, Fox News Derrick Groves spent his first night behind bars since May when the convicted murderer was among the 10 prisoners who broke out of a New Orleans jail. He was captured in Atlanta, Georgia.

[Tom Holman]

There will be a thorough investigation to any and everybody that helped him along the way and in whatever parish, in.

[Dave Anthony]

Whatever county that assistance came Orleans Parish DA Jason Williams. The other escapees were caught months ago. On Wall street. Stock futures are mixed the day after the Dow dropped point, but the Nasdaq and The S&P 500 rose to new record highs in the baseball playoffs. The Yankees are out. One, two pitch. There it is. The Toronto Blue Jays have punched their ticket to the championship series, beating the Yankees 52 in New York to advance in FS1. Detroit beats Seattle 93 to force a final game in that series tomorrow in the National League, the Cubs and Phillies stay alive, avoiding a sweep. Chicago beat Milwaukee 4 3. Philadelphia top the LA Dodgers 8 to 2. Those NL series resume today. I'm Dave Anthony. This is Fox News.
