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.

Author Yossi Klein Halevi joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode, a bonus replay of our What Matters Now weekly podcast.

This week, we turn to Klein Halevi for a deeply intense probe into what it means to be part of the existential Israeli struggle.

We discuss how, as the war in Gaza continues, the different forces in Israeli society are caught up in a destructive push-pull dance even as Israel is losing its moral capital during this long war.

During this time of existential schism in the Jewish state, we also hear how to weave threads of unity.

So this week, we ask best-selling author Yossi Klein Halevi, what matters now.
