Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: A new strategy appears to be emerging in Gaza, as clan-based militias step into areas where Hamas is barred from operating. We’ll break down who these groups are, why they’re rising now, and whether they represent the first real alternative to Hamas’ rule. Former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández — convicted of working alongside drug traffickers — is now a free man. We’ll explain what we’ve learned about the lobbying behind his pardon. New reporting from The New York Times sheds light on the controversial double strike against a drug-trafficking boat, with officials saying Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered the first attack — but not the strike that killed survivors. And in today’s Back of the Brief — Prime Minister Netanyahu receives a rare brushback from President Trump after Israeli strikes in Syria.
