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.

Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren and Tech Israel editor Ricky Ben David join host Amanda Borschel-Dan.

Some 1,500 Jews attended the priestly blessing at the Western Wall, protected by a police force of 2,500 in Jerusalem's Old City. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said last night that police had "free rein" to quell problems. What did he mean by that?

Last night, Ra'am party leader Mansour Abbas said the Arab party was going to "freeze" its membership in the coalition for the next two weeks. Goren discusses the possible permutations of this.

We have a new real estate section at The Times of Israel. Ben David gives us the scoop.

And finally, Tel Aviv has installed the award-winning Lumiweave system at Atidim Park. What is this all about?

Discussed articles include:

With Jerusalem on edge, relatively low turnout at Western Wall Passover prayer event

Bennett says Israeli forces have ‘free rein’ to maintain security

Ra’am freezes its coalition and Knesset membership amid Temple Mount tensions

‘Like a diet during Ramadan’: Joint List mocks Ra’am for freeze amid Knesset recess
