Introduction

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

• As fraught ceasefire negotiations continue between mediators in the Middle East, the head of Mossad is conceding for the first time that Israel must accept that they cannot free all the remaining hostages in a single truce agreement with Hamas. Meanwhile, Hamas has said rather ominously that they don’t have enough Israeli hostages left to trade.

• The Republican caucus in the House dealt another blow to Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday, defeating a bill that would reauthorize the controversial surveillance law known as FISA, citing privacy concerns for American citizens.
