In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:   We dive deep into the current situation in southern Israel as the IDF gears up for its offensive into the Gaza Strip. With the Hamas terrorists' rampage going on for more than a week, the challenges of evacuating civilians from an imminent war zone come into focus.   China's stance on Israel comes under the spotlight.
