In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: 

• We'll begin with an update on the war in Gaza, as Hamas reportedly yields to two of Israel’s key demands for a ceasefire, reigniting hopes that a deal can be struck to pause the fighting and rescue the remaining hostages before the year ends.

• Later in the show, president-elect Donald Trump has begun to outline his plans for bringing the war in Ukraine to an end, advocating a strategy that would see Europe shoulder most of the financial and military burden of supporting Kyiv over the long term.

• Plus, we’ll bring you the latest news on the mystery drones spooking residents across New Jersey, as the White House downplays any potential threats to national security.

• In our 'Back of the Brief' segment, the Biden administration quietly renewed a controversial sanctions waiver granting Iran access to some $10 billion in electricity payments from Iraq. We’ll discuss the implications, as concerns mount that Iran will use the funds to sponsor terrorism.
