    Hamas Leadership’s Strategy, Xi’s Invasion Concerns, & ICE Case Overload

    In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:
    As some of Hamas’s closest allies plead with it to be flexible on a potential ceasefire deal, we'll examine a report suggesting the terror group’s leadership believes it’s winning. They see the civilian casualties in Gaza as an integral part of their plan to defeat Israel.

    We’ll turn to China where a new report is giving us some insight into the mind of Chinese President Xi Jinping, who apparently believes the US wants him to invade Taiwan.

    NATO is in talks to deploy more nuclear weapons, taking them out of storage and placing them on standby, in the face of a growing threat from Russia.

    In today’s Back of the Brief: the latest from the crisis at America's southern border. An exclusive report from Fox News shows the number of immigration cases that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is handling without detaining individuals has dramatically surged to over 7 million this year.
