Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today’s top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover the historic Middle East ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the growing civil war inside Gaza, Trump’s new Air Force training deal with Qatar, and China’s shocking escalation in the global Mineral Wars.

Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America and the world.

 

Hostages Freed as Trump Arrives for Ceasefire Signing:
Twenty surviving Israeli hostages are being released to the Red Cross today as President Trump lands in Israel and prepares to sign the ceasefire in Egypt. The deal, brokered through Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt, includes a full Israeli withdrawal to defensive lines, the exchange of Palestinian prisoners, and the start of Gaza’s transition toward international oversight. Bryan says, “It’s remarkable that we’ve gotten this far — and it’s largely driven by President Trump.”

 

Civil War Erupts Inside Gaza:
As the ceasefire holds, Hamas is now killing rival Palestinian clans who refuse to submit to its rule. The Dormush clan was attacked while sheltering in a Gaza hospital. Arab outlets confirm that Hamas is executing and torturing noncompliant Palestinians from north to south. Bryan warns, “They are drowning rats now — butchers to the very end.”

 

The Next Phase: Rebuilding and Corruption Fears:
Eighty-three percent of Gaza’s buildings are damaged or destroyed, comparable to post–World War II Europe. Israel has mapped only 30 percent of Hamas’s 350-mile tunnel network, which must be filled before reconstruction. Aid officials propose a Gaza-only cryptocurrency to track relief money and curb corruption as Arab and European funds begin pouring in.

 

Trump’s Qatar Deal and Backlash in Idaho:
Qatar will build an Air Force facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho to train its pilots on American F-15s. Critics like Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer warn that allowing a foreign Arab government to operate on U.S. soil invites danger. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth responded that “it’s not a base — it’s a building — and it’s under Pentagon control.” Bryan adds, “That’s the price Trump was willing to pay to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and pivot our focus to China.”

 

China Escalates the Mineral Wars:
Beijing shocked the world with sweeping new export restrictions on rare earth minerals, magnets, and chip materials, cutting off 90 percent of global supply. The White House responded with 100 percent tariffs on all Chinese goods. Europe is panicking as factories and defense contractors face shortages, while Trump urges calm: “Don’t worry about China. It will all be fine.” Bryan warns, “Xi has the world by the neck — and he knows it.”

 

Market Panic and Pentagon Stockpiling:
Global markets plunged Friday before stabilizing after Trump’s comments. The Pentagon is buying $1 billion in critical metals, including tungsten, cobalt, and bismuth, and pitching Australia a joint $1 billion production plan. Bryan cautions, “It’s going to be a wild ride for your pocketbooks and investments.”

 

Health Breakthrough: Mitochondria and Anxiety Relief:
Swiss and Columbia University researchers found that Urolithin A, a compound in the supplement MitoPure, reversed anxiety in lab animals by repairing brain mitochondria. Bryan celebrates the result, saying, “It’s awesome to know that the hard work of finding companies that truly deliver is paying off.”
