Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US Bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Just as Israel is set to approve the IDF's plans for the mission to conquer Gaza City, Hamas on Monday informed mediators that it accepted the ceasefire-hostage release deal proposal that was submitted to the group a day earlier by the Egyptians and Qataris. Sources said the proposal involves a 60-day pause and the release of 10 living captives -- in other words, a partial release deal, which Israel has seemingly stepped away from in the past few weeks. Magid weighs in with the backstory to the negotiation reboot and how Israel may respond. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announced yesterday that it is launching a new system to enable families to reserve a box of aid in advance, to reduce the chaos surrounding its distribution sites that the UN says has led to the deaths of hundreds of aid seekers. This comes after other attempts, such as women’s-only distribution times, in an effort to serve more vulnerable populations. Magid tells us more. The US State Department on Saturday said it was halting all visitor visas for individuals from Gaza while it conducts “a full and thorough” review. The move to stop these medical-humanitarian visas came after Laura Loomer, a far-right activist and an ally of President Donald Trump, said on social media on Friday that the Palestinian “refugees” had entered the US this month. We learn about Loomer and how this post affected the visa program so far. Two former senior Biden administration officials -- Jack Lew, who served as US ambassador to Israel, and David Satterfield, who served as US envoy for Mideast humanitarian issues -- have revealed that it was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who asked US President Joe Biden last year to set up a temporary pier off the coast of Gaza to help deliver more aid. We hear highlights from their joint op-ed in Foreign Affairs magazine, including their thoughts on how the UN should cooperate with GHF. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political reporter Tal Schneider joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. A nationwide call for a general strike got underway on Sunday morning, as families of the hostages protested the government’s decision to expand the war in Gaza with a campaign to conquer Gaza City. The strike was organized by the October Council, which represents some of the family members of the hostages or bereaved relatives of those killed in the fighting that erupted with the Hamas-led massacre in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. Schneider describes why many Israelis feel the need for a day of large public actions against the war, and we hear from reporter Ariela Karmel, who is in Tel Aviv's Hostages Square. The Times of Israel’s US bureau chief Jacob Magid learned on Friday that Hamas negotiators in Cairo this week signaled a willingness to come down from the demands they made last month that led to the collapse of hostage talks in Doha. Jerusalem responded that it is not interested in another partial ceasefire and is only willing to forgo plans to take over Gaza City if Hamas agrees to all of its demands for ending the war, the Israeli official said. Schneider fills us in on the current status of talks. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Saturday that her Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu has become a “problem,” adding she would try to put pressure on Israel over the Gaza war as her country currently holds the European Union presidency. The Israeli government is going “too far,” she added, also condemning the new settlement plan to build over 3,000 housing units in the E1 area of the West Bank, which Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced on Wednesday. We discuss the E1 plan and the efficacy of sanctions on Netanyahu. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Send us a textSince 1967, Israel has imprisoned as many as one million Palestinians—men, women, and children. Many are “administrative detainees,” taken without charge or a fixed release date, and receiving little or no due process and no trial by jury. Original detention orders can be renewed repeatedly. Many remain imprisoned for years, subjected to mental and physical abuse and torture. Might these detainees, arrested for so-called “public security,” more appropriately be called captives, hostages, or abductees? Journalist Hind Shraydeh joined us to discuss these Israeli arrest practices, prison conditions, prisoner abuse, the impact on families and communities, and efforts to end the occupation and its unjust system of abduction and incarceration. Hind will also be a panelist on this topic for the Voices from the Holy Land Film Salon on 8/17 at 3PM. More info can be found at voicesfromtheholyland.org.

Former agent Brooke Plesnar reviews the Colleyville synagogue hostage crisis, where a British national took four people hostage, including Congregation Beth Israel's rabbi. The FBI's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) was deployed. While negotiations for their safe release were underway, the hostages were able to escape unharmed. HRT engaged and killed the hostage-taker. Brooke investigated this case while assigned to the Dallas Division as a member of the Fort Worth, Texas, Resident Agency's Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF). She served in the FBI for five years.

BT and Sal debated the extent of Aaron Boone's authority as manager, with Charles from Rockland County suggesting Boone is a "puppet on a ball" being controlled by the front office's analytics. Sal agreed there's a collaborative effort at play, but pushed back on the idea that Boone is a helpless victim. Instead, he believes Boone is a willing participant who has lost sight of how to balance an old-school baseball mentality with modern analytics, ultimately leading to a lack of accountability and poor on-field results. Both hosts agreed that Boone's public persona is a far cry from the fiery personality they know in private, and that his inability to get through to the players, whether by choice or by mandate, is a major problem for the team.

Sal and BT's Call of the Day featured a passionate fan who argued that Aaron Boone is not to blame for the Yankees' struggles. The caller suggested that Boone is a "puppet" of the front office and analytics department, not a true manager. Sal and BT agreed with this sentiment, pointing out that Boone would be a more effective manager on another team and that his hands are tied by a rigid, pre-scripted approach to the game. They contended that if Boone were given the freedom to manage based on his instincts and in-game situations, the Yankees would be a much better team.

Do you know any church members who have made demands based upon their financial giving to the church? Okay, that's probably a rhetorical question because most of you readers certainly have experienced that discomfort. I asked a number of church leaders to share with me how this “hostage taking” usually takes place. Here are the five most common responses. The post Five Ways Church Members Hold the Church as a Financial Hostage appeared first on Church Answers.

Rabbi Aharon Zulberg, and the other people he credits, was still scratching his head as to what significant thing South African Jewry might do on behalf of their brethren affected by the war. His synagogue, “The Bais” teamed up with the Jewish National Fund of South Africa to offer respite for hostages released from the terror tunnels of Gaza and in urgent need of relaxation and tranquility. What better place could there be than the beautiful country of South Africa and an initiative was launched uniting Jews, and in the process learning about the inestimable good there is in people.

In this episode, we dive into the growing rumors that Israel may move to annex Gaza after Hamas is dismantled—and what that could mean for the region. With Hamas rejecting yet another hostage deal, it's becoming increasingly clear that they're not interested in peace, only prolonging the conflict. Meanwhile, inside Israel, the conversation is shifting from short-term war tactics to long-term strategy. Is Gaza about to be reshaped forever? We unpack the latest developments, the political implications, and the silence in the media surrounding what could be a historic turning point.

The brother of Israeli hostage Evyatar David has told the BBC that a video released by Hamas shows he is a "human skeleton''. Ilay David spoke as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reported to be preparing to expand military operations in Gaza.

This weekend, Hamas released a haunting video of 24-year-old Evyatar David, an Israeli hostage abducted from the Nova Music Festival during the Oct. 7 attacks. In the video, David appears so emaciated and pale that his father said he didn’t recognize him. David's family is pleading for urgent international intervention. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Matan Eshet, a cousin of Evyatar David. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to convene a limited security meeting today to discuss military plans for Gaza. According to reports based on leaked information, following yesterday’s cabinet meeting, Netanyahu told ministers he intends to seek cabinet approval for a full re-occupation of the Gaza Strip. Horovitz delves into the pushback from several sectors of Israeli society -- including hostage families and security officials past and present -- and raises the possibility that this plan could be a negotiating lever to bring Hamas to the table. This idea to conquer and/or occupy the entire Gaza Strip comes as a report released Monday by the Hostages and Missing states that the 20 living hostages held by Hamas in Gaza are at an “immediate risk of death” due to starvation. The terrible conundrum of whether it is possible to simultaneously defeat Hamas and still get the hostages out alive has become increasingly more acute as the war continues. With this new leaked potential plan, Borschel-Dan wonders, has Netanyahu given up on the hostages? Horovitz responds. The government voted unanimously on Monday to dismiss Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara from office, following months of confrontation between the two sides, in a decision that will have deep legal and political reverberations given the government’s long-running efforts to weaken the judiciary. The move was then frozen by the High Court until the justices can rule on its legality. Horovitz gives three scenarios explaining why the government moved forward -- during the Knesset recess -- with this controversial step. Also on Monday afternoon, lawmakers on the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee voted 9-7 to appoint Likud MK Boaz Bismuth as their chairman, officially pushing out former chairman Yuli Edelstein in a move designed to end an impasse over legislation on military draft exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox community. What makes Bismuth a better candidate to push legislation forward? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

In this fiery commentary, the host unpacks the cultural and political upheaval sparked by actress Sydney Sweeney's perceived defiance of Hollywood norms — from selling bathwater to being labeled a “Nazi” for registering Republican and appearing in a gun-friendly ad. The segment connects her controversy to broader accusations about the Human Rights Campaign acting as a cultural enforcer under Obama-era influence, likened to a social credit system for corporations. The focus then shifts to President Trump's ongoing struggle to confirm nominees, blaming not Democrats but establishment Republicans like John Thune for quietly sabotaging his agenda. A scathing breakdown of GOP leadership's unwillingness to cut government spending reveals internal sabotage masked as bipartisan compromise — a behind-the-scenes power struggle with massive consequences for the country.

This explosive segment exposes the hidden power struggle inside the Republican Party, revealing that it's not Democrats blocking Donald Trump's nominees—it's GOP leadership itself, specifically Senate Republican leader John Thune. While Fox News and others pin the blame on Democrats, the real story is that establishment Republicans are leveraging procedural Senate rules and holding Trump's agenda hostage unless he agrees to restore billions in slush fund spending—most notably for USAID, a fund allegedly tied to globalist agendas, CIA operations, censorship programs, and shady foreign aid. The commentary traces the roots of this sabotage to Bush-era uniparty politics, calling out the quiet alliance between globalist Republicans and Democrats who seek to stop Trump's proposed budget cuts (nicknamed the “Doge Cuts”). With Trump forced to play along publicly or risk total legislative gridlock, the segment paints a chilling picture of internal betrayal, corruption, and a party leadership more aligned with the deep state than with its own president.
