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.
Editor David Horovitz and political correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn join host Amanda Borschel-Dan.
We will dive in and discuss different scenarios. Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s court case has also had some plot twists. What’s going on there. And finally, we’ll hear about our first ToI@10 live event on Tuesday night.
Keller-Lynn breaks down for us what exactly is happening right now with Meretz. Is this the end of the government? The end of Meretz as a party?
Likud #2 MK Yuli Edelstein has issued an bold statement: On Saturday he called for the opposition faction to hold leadership primaries if its leader, former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, cannot form a government in the current Knesset if the ruling coalition collapses. Is this at all possible?
Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is still having his day in court. What is happening in Case 4000 after the shaky testimony from state’s witness Shlomo Filber?
Finally, we’ll host our first ToI@10 event on Tuesday night. Horovitz gives a sneak preview of his interview with author Matti Friedman.
Discussed articles include:
