Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: We'll start with the latest developments in Gaza, where U.S. officials are now suggesting that Israel may have reached the limits of its military campaign against Hamas, raising doubts about whether the terror group can be completely eradicated. A major case of attempted espionage: an electrical engineer working for the Department of Defense has been arrested for printing over 150 pages of 'top secret' government documents and attempting to flee to Mexico. We'll turn our attention to the southern border, where Border Patrol agents in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, captured a Palestinian migrant on a terror watchlist, previously flagged for involvement with explosives and firearms. In today's Back of the Brief, an update on anti-Semitism on America’s college campuses as Columbia University President has announced her resignation following months of campus protests over the Israel-Hamas war.
