Live updates: Trump suggests Gaza should 'not be rebuilt' in joint presser with Netanyahu

President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are holding a joint press conference at the White House on Tuesday where they are discussing the future of the Gaza Strip.

Several suggestions floated by Trump include permanently resettling Palestinians in Gaza and during a press conference said the U.S. would take it over, though he gave no details of what that entails.

Senate panels on Tuesday advanced the nominations of Tulsi Gabbard to be director of national intelligence and Robert F. Kennedy to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

Both votes were strictly along party lines, but they likely pave the way for two of President Trump's most controversial nominees to be confirmed.

Also on Tuesday, federal employees filed a number of lawsuits against Trump moves.

Two Office of Personnel Management (OPM) employees are asking a court to block the agency from using computer systems and emails connected with its buyout offers to federal employees.

And 16 current agents are suing the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ), saying their review of those who worked on the cases of some 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants is a preparation to retaliate against agents.
