May 7th, 2024: Ceasefire Confusion, Putin’s Power, & Drone Dynamics

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: The IDF has begun operations in Rafah just hours after Hamas announced would accept a deal to halt the seven-month-long war with Israel in Gaza—something Israeli officials dismissed as a ceasefire ploy. Vladimir Putin begins his fifth term as President of Russia, leveraging the war in Ukraine to solidify his authority. We take a look into how drone warfare is reshaping the modern battlefield and why America is struggling to adapt to this critical technology for national security. In our Back of the Brief segment, we discuss the fallout from anti-Israel protests on college campuses, including Columbia University's cancellation of its commencement ceremony.
