In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:     A look at the latest strikes and counterstrikes between Israel and Hezbollah, as the terror group releases footage of their underground tunnel network in Lebanon, raising concerns that they are preparing for a wider conflict. While Kyiv has found success with their incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, progress has slowed, and now the Russian military is advancing on a critical city in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine.  Venezuela's top court has officially ratified dictator Nicolas Maduro's widely questioned "victory" in the country’s July 28 presidential elections, sealing institutional backing for his regime as the U.S. considers a slew of fresh sanctions. In our 'Back of the Brief' segment, Hamas leader and 7 October mastermind Yahya Sinwar, who has regularly bragged that he would be honored to sacrifice himself to the cause, has reportedly added a new demand for any potential ceasefire in Gaza: Israel must promise not to kill him.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: We start in the Middle East, where the deal to end the fighting in Gaza is on the brink of collapse, with no clear alternative in sight, according to U.S. and Israeli officials. Meanwhile, senior U.S. officials accuse the Israeli prime minister of making “maximalist statements” that are “not constructive” to securing a ceasefire. Later, Ukraine launched what Russian officials are calling one of the biggest drone strikes on Moscow since the war began, deploying at least eleven unmanned aerial vehicles against the capital. Plus, a North Korean soldier defected to South Korea earlier this week by walking across the heavily fortified border. This incident adds to a series of similar defections, possibly indicating broader unrest within the hermit kingdom. And in today's Back of the Brief, the latest in DEI insanity: a recent hire at the nuclear security wing of the Department of Energy has previously advocated for eradicating white supremacy in the nuclear field and, quote, "queering nuclear weapons."

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: We'll start with a look at a major diplomatic effort that has fallen apart. Ukraine and Russia were reportedly preparing to send delegations to Doha this month to negotiate a deal that could have paused strikes on energy and power infrastructure—an important step toward a partial cease-fire. However, Ukraine's ongoing offensive in Kursk has derailed those plans, putting the proposed negotiations in jeopardy. Later, we'll shift to the Middle East, where US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in a race against time. He's on the ground, working to negotiate what many are calling the final chance to end the war in Gaza. Plus, the U.S. and South Korea have kicked off a large-scale military exercise to strengthen their defense capabilities against North Korea. But Pyongyang is responding with strong rhetoric, labeling the drills as a prelude to nuclear war. And in today's Back of the Brief, it's a showdown between Elon Musk and Brazil. His social media platform X has shut down its offices in the country after facing legal threats from a Brazilian judge, setting the stage for a high-stakes battle over free speech and censorship.
