In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: We start in the Middle East, where after a weekend of the most intense strikes since the beginning of the Gaza war, Israel and Hezbollah appear to have avoided escalating into a full-scale conflict. We’ll bring you the latest updates. Later in the brief, the Ukrainian government is on high alert as Belarusian troops mass at the border, allegedly for exercises — a scenario eerily similar to the lead-up to Russia's 2022 invasion. Plus, Japan’s defense ministry scrambled jets on Monday after the Chinese military made an unprecedented incursion into Japanese airspace. We’ll break down the details. In today’s Back of the Brief: NASA makes a major announcement about the two astronauts stranded in space. It looks like they’re going to have to wait until next year to come home.
