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. Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren and military correspondent Emmanuel Fabian join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Goren discusses the last 30 days of what she's been calling 'Black January,' for the endless news cycle and changing headlines of the new government, creating a sense of pressure more intense than periods of war or conflict. Fabian reviews overnight clashes in Jenin that killed nine Palestinians in clashes with the IDF and a teen shot dead in East Jerusalem while wielding what turned out to be a fake gun. He also talks about a Shin Bet report regarding the arrest of dozens of West Bank Palestinians with ties to Hamas operatives in Gaza, although many of the young suspects didn't realize that Hamas was using them, often to smuggle guns into the West Bank. Goren describes a new AI-powered new robot helping wildlife cross the roads in Israel by learning their reactions and how to startle them into stopping them from risking their lives. Discussed articles include: 9 Palestinians killed as gunmen clash with IDF soldiers in Jenin Masked Palestinian shot dead after aiming fake gun at police in East Jerusalem Shin Bet reveals Hamas attempts to recruit West Bank Palestinians for terror Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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. Legal affairs correspondent Jeremy Sharon and diaspora and religion writer Judah Ari Gross join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Sharon explains the complex legal situation unfolding with the barring of Shas leader Aryeh Deri from the government as a cabinet minister and what he would need to be reinstated. Gross looks at a conference of left-wing religious Jews gathering together for the first time, as this grassroots movement bands together from across the religious spectrum. Sharon discusses the evacuation of an illegal West Bank outpost of religious settlers, and how far-right politicians, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Public Security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, equated the situation with the ongoing debate over illegal Bedouin village Khan al-Ahmar in the West Bank. Gross talks about the shortage of ulpan teachers, instructors who teach Hebrew to new immigrants, caused by a lack of wage negotiations and complications with finding alternatives. Discussed articles include: Deri v. High Court: What did he actually pledge in his 2022 plea bargain? Eyeing their community's rightward shift, left-wing religious Jews form new movement Illegal West Bank outpost evacuated for second time as coalition tensions persist Likud MKs call on government to evacuate Bedouin village Khan al-Ahmar immediately After clash over West Bank outpost, Gallant and Smotrich meet with Netanyahu MKs demand solutions to Hebrew teacher shortage that is vexing new immigrants Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and real estate writer Danielle Nagler join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Schneider talks about the building quarrel between Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding her supposed plans to order him to take a leave of absence because of  conflict of interest. Schneider offers some background information about Baharav-Miara as the first female attorney general, her role and why the prime minister sees her as a threat. She also discusses Culture Minister Miki Zohar and the brouhaha over his statement Saturday, saying he intends to shut down cultural activities funded by the government taking place in the upper Galilee on Shabbat, and the prime minister's comments pedaling back Zohar's statements. Nagler takes a look at housing prices across Israel that haven't fallen yet as expected and are up some 19% compared to previous years. Meanwhile, rental prices are also up, compounding the issue for those finding it hard to buy. Nagler also discusses a survey looking at the best places to live in Israel, placing Rishon Lezion at the top of the list with the best quality of life followed by other central locations, including Ramat Gan and Kfar Saba with Jerusalem scoring low on the list. Discussed articles include: Coalition warns AG any move to suspend Netanyahu akin to coup; she denies weighing it New Culture Minister Zohar vows to withdraw funding for art that ‘defames Israel' Rise in housing prices slows but still up almost 19% from 2021 First of Zion: Rishon is Israel's best city to live in, statistics bureau finds Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and health and science writer Nathan Jeffay join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Berman discusses plan for Foreign Minister Eli Cohen to visit Kyiv, 11 months after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, possibly signaling new direction for Israel-Ukraine relations. Jeffay explains the components of a new robot, made with the antenna of a locust and intended to replace sniffer dogs and high resolution cameras in the future. Berman talks about the visit of US envoy Jake Sullivan last week, the first opportunity of the Biden administration to discuss aspects of the new Netanyahu government as well as Abraham Accords, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Jeffay looks at new research on medical clowning, a well-known aspect of hospital life in Israel, but looking at better collaboration between doctors and clowns.

Senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur and Knesset correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode. Keller-Lynn reported from the rallies in Tel Aviv last night where some 110-150,000 protesters gathered. We hear some highlights of the event. The media is rife with rumors and reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be ordered by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to step down for a leave of absence. We hear whether this is within the scope of her purview. Rettig Gur delves into how Shas head Aryeh Deri's 1993 corruption scandal helped launch the current campaign against the High Court's expansive powers.

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. Legal affairs reporter Jeremy Sharon and US correspondent Jacob Magid join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Sharon discusses the bombshell High Court ruling that bans Shas leader Aryeh Deri from serving as a minister, reviewing what brought Deri back to court after his criminal conviction last year. He also looks at how this latest event with Deri could play out in prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new government, given the sweeping changes the coalition aims to make with its reform package and whether the government's effort to severely restrict judicial review over Knesset legislation could lead to a constitutional crisis. Magid then talks about a delegation of US senators who arrived in Israel on Tuesday and asked not to meet with far-right ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir or any members of their hardline factions, and what that means, if anything, for US president Joe Biden's current attitude toward Israel. He also discusses US envoy Jake Sullivan's short trip to the region this week, including the envoy's meetings with President Isaac Herzog and prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as with Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas. Discussed articles include: In bombshell ruling, High Court nixes Shas head Deri from serving as minister As coalition looks to radically rebalance power, a messy constitutional crisis looms Delegation of visiting US senators asks not to meet with Smotrich and Ben Gvir Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and health reporter Nathan Jeffay join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Jordan's ambassador to Israel Ghassan Majali's visit to the Temple Mount on Tuesday caused a mini-diplomatic incident. How does this relate to the idea of the status quo? On Monday, Hamas released a video taken of, it claims, Israeli prisoner Avera Mengistu, whose identity was seemingly verified by his family and confirmed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In terms of Hamas's geopolitical strategy, why would the terror group release the video now? A Bar Ilan University-produced peptide just may eventually stop tumors causing secondary cancer. Jeffay breaks it down for us. The New York Times has reported that the United States is moving stockpiles of some 300,000 artillery shells from Israel to Ukraine. Could this affect Israel's relations with Russia? And finally, we hear about the science of silliness. Israel is a leader in medical clowning and a new study documents the method behind the madness. Discussed articles include: Diplomatic flurry as Jordan envoy briefly delayed at Temple Mount entrance Jordan unveils new 50-dinar banknote featuring Temple Mount in Jerusalem Mom of Gaza captive Mengistu: ‘His voice is different, I want to look into his eyes' Netanyahu says Gaza captive Mengistu ‘is alive,' Hamas responsible for his fate Israeli scientists say substance prevents cancer's spread in mice with 90% success US quietly shipping ammo to Ukraine from massive stockpile in Israel — report Science of silliness: Israeli study deconstructs medical clowning so MDs use it more Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and Knesset correspondent Carrie Keller Lynn join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Yesterday, thousands of students in more than a dozen university and college campuses around the country held a one-hour coordinated “strike” Monday afternoon against the new government's plan to overhaul the judiciary, saying they were fighting for their futures. Schneider explains when previous protests have changed governments. Blue and White head Benny Gantz is willing to collaborate on bills pushing for a judicial overhaul. But why should Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu need or even want Gantz's cooperation? Both guests weigh in. Schneider recently spoke with Rushan Abbas and her husband Abdulhakim Idris, two Sunni Muslims from China's far-northwestern Xinjiang province. Why were they here in Israel? And finally, Borschel-Dan speaks about previously unpublished photographs taken by a Polish firefighter of the aftermath of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Revolt that were released today by POLIN: Museum of the History of Polish Jews ahead of an April exhibition. Discussed articles include: ‘This is an emergency': Thousands of students rally against judicial makeover plan PM says protests won't deter judicial push as Gantz presses for compromise talks Netanyahu trial boosted backing for judicial overhaul push, justice minister says She exposed China's crimes against the Uighurs; now she needs the world to save them 21 never-published photos of Warsaw Ghetto Revolt's aftermath found in Poland attic Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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. Editor David Horovitz and senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode. The Annual Israel Democracy Index showed that Israelis as a whole mistrust the country's governing and adjuring institutions. The survey was conducted mostly in the summer, with some polling in October. Our guests weigh in on whether the findings would be different today? We then discuss what has been the response from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition so far to the widespread protests against the government's judicial reform bills. Rettig Gur talks about a proposed reform that even right-wing politicians and thinkers are wary about. Finally, we hear about a new 25-part short animated series The Times of Israel is hosting on the website called, “Whispered in Gaza.” Discussed articles include: Israelis deeply split on courts and rights, but united in gloom, distrust — poll Netanyahu shrugs off protest, says millions of voters demanded judicial overhaul Battle over High Court exposes frailty of Israel's piecemeal system of government Introducing ‘Whispered in Gaza' — 25 short, animated interviews on life under Hamas Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and health and science writer Nathan Jeffay join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Berman speaks about the diplomatic experience of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu will need to bring to his government, specifically because of actions from his coalition partners, particularly public security minister Itamar Ben Gvir. Jeffay discusses the findings of Israel's largest health care fund, showing that the new Covid boosters cut hospitalization rates significantly for the 65-plus group, although booster rates have slowed overall in Israel. Berman talks about foreign minister Eli Cohen who will be speaking soon to the Ukrainian foreign minister, and how the new government's attitudes toward Russia may shift Israel's ability to act as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine.

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. Editor David Horovitz and investigative reporter Inna Lazareva join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Former Supreme Court head Aharon Barak gave a series of television interviews over the weekend in which he stated unequivocably that he is worried about new Justice Minister Yariv Levin's proposed judicial reforms. What were some of Barak's statements? Three drivers employed by the Prime Minister's Office for roughly 30 years as part of the premier's motorcade were reportedly fired earlier this week, amid reports that Benjamin Netanyahu is clearing house of staff who served in the previous government. However, the drivers are set also to serve as prosecution witnesses in the ongoing trial against Netanyahu. Horovitz connects some dots. A team of Israeli archaeologists from the Universite of Haifa and the Hebrew University has discovered what it claims is the earliest evidence of silver being used as currency in the Levant, dating back more than 3,600 years. The analyzed silver hoards are found in strata that date to 500 years prior to previous estimates. Borschel-Dan gives some context. Finally, Lazereva shares some of the horrors she uncovered during her in-depth investigation into what many Ukrainian women who fled their homes for Israel face when they get here. Discussed articles include: Ex-top judge Barak: ‘Put me before a firing squad' if it'll stop move to tyranny 3 motorcade drivers fired by Netanyahu are witnesses in his corruption trial Netanyahu fires three veteran motorcade drivers who also ferried Bennett and Lapid Newly analyzed 3,600-year-old silver pieces are 1st currency in Levant, study shows Raped, abused, exploited: Ukrainian women seeking refuge in Israel find no haven Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Federal Reserve officials believe that “substantially more evidence” of slowing inflation is necessary before the central bank cuts interest rates this year, according to the December FOMC minutes which were released Wednesday afternoon. Fed officials cited concern that inflation could prove “modestly persistent,” and said that higher rates for longer will be necessary to fight inflation. Officials agreed that rate cuts shouldn't happen in 2023. On today's Daily Briefing, Darius Dale, the founder of 42 Macro, joins Maggie Lake to discuss the market's response to this news, his view of inflation, and what it all means for global assets as we navigate the year ahead. Plus, we hear from Mish Schnieder of MarketGauge.com who gives us her opinion of where inflation will head in 2023. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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. Legal and settlements reporter Jeremy Sharon and Diaspora Affairs correspondent Judah Ari Gross join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode. Yesterday, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara announced Tuesday that she will not defend the appointment of Shas leader Aryeh Deri as interior minister and health minister in High Court of Justice proceedings. How rare is this refusal? Gross reported on a first announced Deri policy as Interior Minister in which new immigrants will be required to prove they've settled in Israel in order to be eligible for an Israeli passport. What is required to enact this? On Monday, the state informed the High Court that rather than demolish the Homesh outpost, it had decided to legalize it by repealing part of the 2005 disengagement law. What was the reason to demolish the settlement then, and how is the state justifying this reversal? Israeli and Diaspora-based heads of top international Zionist groups sent a joint letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning him against his incoming government's plan to alter the Law of Return. Gross explains what is unique about this move. Yesterday, Poland said it has been informed by Germany that it does not intend to engage in negotiations on any World War II reparations to Warsaw as Berlin considers the matter closed. Has the country exhausted all options? Discussed articles include: AG refuses to defend government in court against petitions over Deri's appointment Netanyahu meets AG for tense talks, reportedly on plan to split her role into two New immigrants will need to prove they've settled in Israel before getting passports High Court demands government explain refusal to demolish Homesh outpost Leaders of top Zionist bodies warn Netanyahu against altering Law of Return Germany rejects Poland's request for $1.4 trillion in WWII reparations, says Warsaw Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Editor David Horovitz and senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode, which marks two years of the daily podcast. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir ascended to the Temple Mount this morning in a visit that is being condemned by The Palestinian Authority's Foreign Ministry as an “unprecedented provocation.” We hear how Horovitz sees this playing out. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed his 11-member security cabinet, stacked with staunch supporters. Is this a signal to his coalition partners? According to a report from the Israel Democracy Institute, by the end of the decade, ultra-orthodox Jews will constitute 16% of the total Israeli population. Rettig Gur explores what this means for Israel. And finally, we hear about the Academy of the Hebrew Language's word of the year, bol'an or sinkhole.

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. Settlements reporter Jeremy Sharon and religion and diaspora affairs correspondent Judah Ari Gross join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Sharon talks about the final details of the coalition deal, including Border Police control for Otzma Yehudit's Itamar Ben Gvir and settlement expansion powers for Religious Zionism's Bezalel Smotrich, creating unprecedented, dramatic changes in Israel's incoming government. Gross discusses the background of Likud MK Amichai Chikli, being appointed Diaspora Affairs minister and what that could mean for future debates of the Law of Return and the grandchild clause, under attack from the Religious Zionism party, and their belief that it alters the Jewish identity of the state. Gross also talks about the legacy of Rabbi Chaim Druckman, considered a founder of the settler movement, and who was buried earlier this week. Discussed articles include: Otzma Yehudit deal includes control over Border Police, major boost to police funds Religious Zionism coalition deal: Settlement growth, changes to discrimination laws Political deals over Law of Return set stage for fight over future of immigration Rabbi Chaim Druckman, spiritual leader of political religious Zionism, dies at 90 Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Ops&Blogs editor Miriam Herschlag and military reporter Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Fabian reported yesterday on an arrest in connection to the double bombing in Jerusalem that took place on the morning of November 23 that killed two and wounded over 20. Who is currently in custody for the attack? On Monday, the Shin Bet security agency announced it foiled an attempt by terror groups in the Gaza Strip to carry out a bombing attack in Israel and arrested four West Bank Palestinians on December 14. Who was behind the planned attack? Fabian wrote a deep dive into Israel's porous border with Jordan, stating that Israeli authorities say they are beginning to gain the upper hand in a relentless battle to stymie the mass smuggling of arms into Israel and the West Bank. How is the tide turning? Herschlag compiled a list of her top dozen posts from the past year. She explains how she assembled the list and we speak about three that particularly moved us.

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 Carrie Keller-Lynn and environment reporter Sue Surkes join host Amanda Borschel-Dan. Yesterday, new Speaker of the Knesset Yariv Levin made an announcement. What was it? As the clock winds down for incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, what is happening with the pieces of legislation that his coalition partners and Likud wanted to pass before the swearing in? Surkes recently wrote about how Israeli scientists are trying to revolutionize the egg industry and have produced hens that are the first in the world to lay eggs that only produce females. Also on the theme of waste reduction, we hear about OPA and its 100% recyclable take-out bowls now hitting Tel Aviv. And finally, space, the final frontier: A US-born Israeli academic has designed a conceptual plan to rig the moon with solar panels. Why in the world did Emeritus Professor Jeffrey Gordon of Ben-Gurion University turn to this particular problem?
