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.

US bureau chief Jacob Magid and News editor Luke Tress join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast.

Magid discusses Washington equating two weekend attacks, one in which a Palestinian shot and killed a Tel Aviv patrolman and another in which a Palestinian was shot and killed by a Jewish settler.

Tress looks at the incident in Memphis, Tennessee, during which a man unsuccessfully fired a handgun at a Jewish school, and was later discovered to be Jewish, and a former student at the school who had suffered a familial trauma years earlier.

Magid looks at some of the provocative comments made by the outgoing EU ambassador to the Palestinians, Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff, as he left his post and headed toward retirement.

Tress talks about the recent incident with entertainer Jamie Foxx, who made antisemitic statement on social media, and later apologized.

Steinberg mentions the small but meaningful new exhibit opening this week at the Israel Museum of the work of American artist Rashid Johnson, a Chicago born New Yorker who has long used his art to talk about life as a Black man.

Discussed articles include:

US calls both shooting of Israeli patrolman and young Palestinian ‘terror attacks’

Suspect in shooting at Memphis Jewish school was haunted by police killing of father

Departing EU envoy: I won’t accuse Israel of apartheid, but it’s worthy of discussion

Jamie Foxx apologizes for Instagram post that echoed antisemitic trope

Rashid Johnson exhibit at Israel Museum seeks to create ‘discourse about Blackness’
