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.
