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.

Health and science correspondent Nathan Jeffay and, from Ukraine, diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman join host Anne Gordon on today's episode.

There have been some interesting and exciting developments by Israeli health researchers, specifically to benefit potential sufferers of fibromyalgia and those who experience male infertility. Jeffay reports on what the future may hold. He also gives us the lowdown on Israel’s newest and largest emergency room, and explains why Israelis are not getting enough iodine.

Berman recounts his experiences with the ZSU - Armed Forces of Ukraine, and updates us about an odious commission of inquiry at the United Nations that smacks of all-too-familiar antisemitism.

Discussed articles include:
