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 features writer Melanie Lidman join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode.

The security cabinet debated a series of measures on Sunday meant to prop up the Palestinian Authority. What could these measures be?

In an interview published yesterday in the London-based Elaph Arabic-language new site, Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen made a few promises regarding the Palestinian Authority and a potential Abraham Accords agreement with Saudi Arabia. What did Cohen say?

Israelis increasingly report feeling pushed out of the country due to the judicial overhaul crisis. A recently published feature looks at the issue and includes an interview with Prof. Sergio Della Pergola, who explained why Israelis have left in large numbers in the past. What did he say?

Many point to the idea that this judicial overhaul crisis could be Israel’s constitutional moment. Berman noted in an in-depth piece on the subject that having a constitution doesn’t necessarily mean all our problems will go away. What happened in the United States in the 1790s?

A unique online exhibit, “Unsilencing the Archives: The Laborers of the Tell en-Nasbeh Excavations (1926-1935),” focuses on the Palestinian excavators who made archaeological digs possible in this era. What was the impetus for the exhibit?

Discussed articles include:

'This is my red line’: Anguished Israelis talk relocation amid judicial overhaul push

Why the deepening judicial crisis could be Israel’s constitutional moment
