    Last Chance for a Ceasefire, Ukraine’s Windfall, & Navalny Doubts

    In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

    Israel tightens the noose on Hamas with a final offer for hostage negotiations amid the impending Rafah offensive. We scrutinize the eleventh-hour efforts for peace before the onset of military action.

    Ukraine's defense buckles under the Russian onslaught, prompting the U.S. to unveil a colossal $6 billion military aid package, a direct investment into American-made armaments.

    A US intelligence assessment is casting doubt on reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin directly ordered the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny—an assessment that’s being disputed by the Kremlin itself.

    Our 'Back of the Brief' segment tracks the surge in anti-Israel protests, leading to over 200 arrests on U.S. college campuses.
