GEOFF BENNETT: We start today's# other headlines in the Middle East.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu# says his government aims to reoccupy all## of Gaza militarily.

He says he does not plan# for Israel to stay long term or govern the## area and any such plan would need approval# from Israel's Security Cabinet.

Hamas said,## if Israel moves forward, it would# amount to what they call a coup.

The Israeli military already controls most# of the enclave.

Speaking to data FOX News,## the Israeli leader laid out his ambitions.

BILL HEMMER, FOX News Anchor: Will# Israel take control of all of Gaza?

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, Israeli Prime Minister: We# intend to, in order to assure our security, remove## Hamas there, enable the population to be free# of Gaza, and to pass it to civilian governance## that is not Hamas and not anyone advocating the# destruction of Israel.

That's what we want to do.

GEOFF BENNETT: Meantime, health# officials in Gaza say at least 42## Palestinians were killed in airstrikes# and shootings overnight and into today.

One grieving relative says that Israel's# threat of reoccupation is already a reality.

MAJDA QADEIH, Gaza Resident (through translator):# I ask Netanyahu, since when weren't you occupying?## You already took 70 percent of the Gaza# Strip.

What do we care?

We don't care.## Threaten us as you wish.

What else can you# do to us?

We are waiting for our turn to die.

GEOFF BENNETT: More aid was airdropped over North# Gaza today, sending desperate people scrambling.## The World Health Organization today said more# Palestinians are dying due to hunger and that## there are some 12,000 children under the age# of 5 who are suffering from acute malnutrition.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says he# hopes to meet with President Trump next week.## Speaking to reporters at the Kremlin,# Putin suggested the United Arab Emirates## as a possible location for the meeting.

Those# comments come a day ahead of President Trump's## deadline for Moscow to move toward ending the# conflict or face stiff economic sanctions.

A White House official had cast doubt on any# meeting today, saying that Putin must also## agree to meet with Ukrainian President# Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

But when asked## about that this afternoon, President# Trump signaled that wasn't the case.

The FBI is reportedly firing several top# officials, including its former acting## director.

Brian Driscoll led the agency# at the beginning of President Trump's## current term.

He had refused to turn over# the names of agents who were assigned to## investigate the January 6 attack on the# U.S. Capitol.

Steven Jensen was also## reportedly ousted.

He responded to January 6# as the head of the Washington field office.

Both men have sent farewell messages to# their colleagues.

Other agents working## on cases related to President Trump were# also reportedly forced out.

The FBI Agents## Association says the firings make Americans# less safe, writing -- quote -- "Agents need## to be focused on their work and not on potentially# being illegally fired based on their assignments."

In Florida, a federal judge ordered a# temporary halt to construction at the## so-called Alligator Alcatraz facility.

That's# the new ICE detention center isolated in the## vast wetlands of the Florida Everglades.# The order bars workers from developing## any new infrastructure at the site for# two weeks while attorneys argue whether## its construction violates environmental# laws.

The order will not affect operations## at the facility where hundreds of# detainees are currently being held.

A new CDC report says that most Americans# now get more than half of their calories from## ultra-processed foods.

For adults, about 53# percent of calories come from these foods,## which are high in sweeteners, salts,# and unhealthy fats.

It's even higher## for kids and teens at 62 percent.

The# foods in question include hamburgers,## baked goods, snacks, pizza, and# sweetened drinks, among other things.

But the CDC says these figures are actually# down slightly over the past decade.

Experts## say that could be because of greater# public awareness of their harmful impact.

United Airlines is working to resolve ongoing# delays after a tech outage temporarily grounded## its flights nationwide last night.

According# to the tracking Web site FlightAware,## 35 percent of United flights were delayed# yesterday and 7 percent canceled.

By this## morning, those numbers had dropped significantly,## though flights to or from more than a# dozen airports were still being affected.

United says the tech outage# lasted several hours and was## related to a system that manages# the airline's flight information.

And a quick update now on a story we have# been covering out of Central California.## Authorities issued new evacuation# orders today as the state's largest## fire of the year grows even bigger.# The Gifford Fire has now scorched more## than 150 square miles of San Luis# Obispo and Santa Barbara counties.

Some 3,000 firefighting personnel# are battling the blaze, which## erupted last Friday.

Officials say it's only# 15 percent contained.

It's one of hundreds of## wildfires burning along the Western U.S. and in# Canada.

Smoke from those fires has drifted south## and is affecting the air quality for millions# of people across the Midwest and Eastern U.S. On Wall Street today, stocks ended mixed as# President Trump's latest tariffs had a muted## effect on markets.

The Dow Jones industrial# average lost more than 200 points on the## day.

The Nasdaq managed a gain of about 70# points.

The S&P 500 ended just a touch lower.

And the trailblazing pianist, composer and band# leader Eddie Palmieri has died.

Starting with## his band La Perfecta in 1961, Palmieri was known# for his innovative style, often mixing salsa with## funk, soul and jazz sounds.

In so doing, he left# a lasting impression on Latin music worldwide.

In 1975, Palmieri became the first# Latino to win a Grammy Award for## "The Sun of Latin Music."

He would go on# to win seven more over the course of his## long career.

In a 2001 interview,# he spoke about his love of music.

EDDIE PALMIERI, Musician (through translator):# I'm going to be 65, and I'm still playing the most## complicated and exciting music.

It always makes# people dance.

People can't resist.

I love it.
