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.

Political correspondent Tal Schneider and senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast.

Schneider offers overview of bills being discussed in preliminary voting in Knesset on Wednesday, including the much-discussed Override Clause that would enable the parliament to re-legislate laws struck down by the Supreme Court, as well as granting more authority for local rabbinical courts to be able to rule using Jewish law, and the Aryeh Deri bill, to reinstate the Shas politician.

Schneider also discusses comments made by former US ambassador to Israel David Friedman regarding the proposed judicial overhaul, and specifically the Override Clause.

Rettig Gur discusses who are the coalition forces radicalizing this judicial reform and preventing compromise, and how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling for negotiation, adopting President Isaac Herzog's suggestions, but his own coalition won't let him compromise.

Discussed articles include:

In highly unusual move, major US Jewish group decries proposed judicial overhaul

Netanyahu urges talks on overhaul; Lapid fires back that legislation must stop first
