Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Knesset correspondent Tal Schneider and US correspondent Jacob Magid join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Magid discusses his inside story regarding Washington's views of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government right now, and whether US President Joe Biden is looking to change his strategy regarding Israel.
