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 senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode.

The anti-judicial overhaul protestors have a full day of demonstrations and PR stunts for today’s Day of Disruption. What are we seeing so far on the streets?

Inside the Knesset, the Opposition has put forward its own protest, in the form of 27,000 reservations to the Reasonableness bill. Is this unusual?

Rettig Gur tells us about some practical applications of the Reasonableness Bill, including in the chief rabbinate elections and the mayoral elections in Tiberias.

Last night, ahead of the official visit to the US of President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Joe Biden had a long-awaited phone call in which, according to the Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu was invited to the US to meet with Biden. Is this the whole story?
