October 7, 2023, changed Israel forever. Three years later, the consequences of Hamas' devastating attack continue to reverberate across the Middle East. Mike Slater joins former CIA officer Mike Baker to examine the events of that day, the wars and political upheaval that followed, and how Israel's strategic position has changed. What lessons have been learned, and where does Israel go from here?

In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:

Three years after the October 7th Hamas attacks, the Middle East has undergone a dramatic transformation. Alex Selsky of the Middle East Forum joins Mike Baker to examine how years of war and the widening conflict with Iran have reshaped Israel’s strategic position and what comes next for the region.

Federal officers are reporting a massive surge in terrorism-related encounters at the U.S. southern border. Art Arthur of the Center for Immigration Studies joins Mike Baker to break down the troubling numbers and what they reveal about potential threats to American national security.
