Journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson discussed how Biden's aides structured his schedule to hide his cognitive decline from the public and the Cabinet. The conversation explores whether the 25th Amendment should have been invoked and the lack of accountability for aides who allegedly covered up the President's condition.

Tensions are rising between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, highlighted by Gallant's absence from a joint press conference. The rift dates back to Netanyahu's attempt to fire Gallant over judicial reform objections earlier this year. Observers suggest Netanyahu is attempting to prevent other cabinet members from receiving credit for hostage releases as his domestic popularity hits an all-time low.
