    Israel-Hezbollah Agree To Ceasefire, Russia Schemes With The Houthis, & Pakistan On The Brink

    In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:     We’ll start things off in the Middle East, where in a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah have agreed to a ceasefire deal that negotiators hope will bring a permanent end to the conflict after more than a year of fighting.
