August 27th, 2024: Israel-Hezbollah Conflict, Belarusian Troops at the Border, & Chinese Jets in Japan

The President's Daily Brief

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• We start in the Middle East, where after a weekend of the most intense strikes since the beginning of the Gaza war, Israel and Hezbollah appear to have avoided escalating into a full-scale conflict. We’ll bring you the latest updates.

• Later in the brief, the Ukrainian government is on high alert as Belarusian troops mass at the border, allegedly for exercises — a scenario eerily similar to the lead-up to Russia's 2022 invasion.

• Plus, Japan’s defense ministry scrambled jets on Monday after the Chinese military made an unprecedented incursion into Japanese airspace. We’ll break down the details.

• In today’s Back of the Brief: NASA makes a major announcement about the two astronauts stranded in space. It looks like they’re going to have to wait until next year to come home.
