• We'll start things off with an update on the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, where three more Israeli hostages and five Thai hostages were released on Thursday. The latest exchange revealed just how fragile the truce is, as Hamas tried to turn the hostage handover into a public spectacle, prompting condemnations from leaders in Jerusalem.
• Later in the show, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is gearing up for his first trip to Latin America, with an eye on stemming migration and countering Chinese influence in the region.
• Plus, Republicans in Congress are scrambling to convince President Donald Trump to reverse course and reinstate the security details for several former aides who remain on Iran’s hit list.
• In our 'Back of the Brief' segment, a major update on disgraced former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, who was sentenced this week to 11 years in prison over his long-running bribery and foreign influence scheme.
