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 correspondent Jacob Magid and US reporter Luke Tress join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast.

Magid talks about US politics regarding Israel's maritime deal with Lebanon, and whether Biden pushed to do this prior to Israeli and US mid-term elections.

Tress discusses interview with Reform Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch about his new pro-Israel program to bolster support for Israel, amid anti-Zionism in liberal US circles.

Magid examines PA President Mahmoud Abbas comments made during closed meeting about Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, lack of US measures pushing for Israel-PA peace and why it's important to speak to AIPAC.

Tress looks at recent lawsuit against New York state by two Jewish, Orthodox, gun-owning plaintiffs, seeking to protect their neighborhood synagogue following new law barring firearms in places of worship.

Discussed articles include:
