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 settlements reporter Jeremy Sharon join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast.

Keller-Lynn discusses the political whitewashing of Otzma Yehudit's Itamar Ben Gvir as the November 1 elections loom closer.

Sharon looks at the efforts of Bezalel Smotrich of the Religious Zionism party, as he unveils a program of radical legal reforms, including one that could lead to the end of Benjamin Netanyahu’s criminal trial.

Steinberg talks about two films detailing ultra-Orthodox life, one a humorous rom-com, the other a complicated family drama.

Discussed articles include:

From far right to ‘cuddly care bear,’ Ben Gvir’s political whitewashing is underway

Smotrich launches bid to neuter judiciary, potentially halt ally Netanyahu’s trial

Matchmaking, infertility in focus in 2 new films on Haredi life
