In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: We’ll begin in the Middle East, where senior officials in both Israel and Lebanon are signaling they are closer now than ever before to reaching a ceasefire agreement to end the conflict with Hezbollah, though diplomatic hurdles remain. We’ll look at reports that President-elect Donald Trump is considering a major purge of the Pentagon’s senior ranks, potentially including the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Plus, western nations are pushing hard for a new U.N. resolution regarding Iran’s nuclear program, as the body’s nuclear watchdog attempts to resolve outstanding disputes involving the Islamic regime’s atomic ambitions. In our 'Back of the Brief' segment, in a sign of just how detrimental the war in Ukraine has been to the Putin regime’s finances, an increasingly broke Russia is slashing benefits for troops injured on the battlefield.
