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.

Legal and settlements reporter Jeremy Sharon and Diaspora Affairs correspondent Judah Ari Gross join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode.

Yesterday, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara announced Tuesday that she will not defend the appointment of Shas leader Aryeh Deri as interior minister and health minister in High Court of Justice proceedings. How rare is this refusal?

Gross reported on a first announced Deri policy as Interior Minister in which new immigrants will be required to prove they’ve settled in Israel in order to be eligible for an Israeli passport. What is required to enact this?

On Monday, the state informed the High Court that rather than demolish the Homesh outpost, it had decided to legalize it by repealing part of the 2005 disengagement law. What was the reason to demolish the settlement then, and how is the state justifying this reversal?

Israeli and Diaspora-based heads of top international Zionist groups sent a joint letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning him against his incoming government’s plan to alter the Law of Return. Gross explains what is unique about this move.

Yesterday, Poland said it has been informed by Germany that it does not intend to engage in negotiations on any World War II reparations to Warsaw as Berlin considers the matter closed. Has the country exhausted all options?

Discussed articles include:

AG refuses to defend government in court against petitions over Deri’s appointment

Netanyahu meets AG for tense talks, reportedly on plan to split her role into two

New immigrants will need to prove they’ve settled in Israel before getting passports

High Court demands government explain refusal to demolish Homesh outpost

Leaders of top Zionist bodies warn Netanyahu against altering Law of Return

Germany rejects Poland’s request for $1.4 trillion in WWII reparations, says Warsaw
