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.

Today is day 175 of the war with Hamas. Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren and legal reporter Jeremy Sharon join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode.

In response to a new provisional International Court of Justice ruling yesterday, late last night, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said the country will continue looking for new ways to facilitate the entry of increased aid into Gaza. Why did the court issue new provisional measures aimed at Israel now?

A government resolution from June 2023 instructing the IDF to temporarily not draft Haredi students will expire at midnight on March 31 and the past several weeks has seen the government attempt to come up with a reasonable proposal to stave off this deadline. Last night the High Court of Justice issued an interim order. Sharon explains what the court decided and Goren dives into the political turmoil.

Official Israel and the United States appear to believe that there is still a chance to revive hostage deal negotiations with the Hamas terror organization after indirect talks in Qatar broke down earlier in the week. But behind the scenes in political Israel, we’re hearing conflicting reports on willingness to negotiate. Goren explains.

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid beat out opponent MK Ram Ben Barak by the skin of his teeth in Thursday afternoon’s Yesh Atid primary, the party’s first leadership contest since it was founded by Lapid in 2012. Goren dives into the real winner of this primary -- and it's neither contender.
