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.

Today’s panel comprises diplomacy reporter Lazar Berman and Palestinian and Arab affairs correspondent Aaron Boxerman, along with host Amanda Borschel-Dan.

Berman gives us an update on the International Criminal Court's investigation into the summer of 2014. The start date of the investigation is June 13, 2014 -- just after the kidnapping and brutal murder of teens Eyal Yifrach, Gil-Ad Shaer and Naftali Fraenkel. Coincidence? And Boxerman explains why both the Palestinian Authority and Hamas are elated at the ongoing trial proceedings.

Israel launched a vaccination campaign for 120,000 Palestinian workers crossing into the Jewish state on Monday. Boxerman was there and gives impressions, including the lack of "fake news," even as Israeli Arab communities are among the lowest vaccinated.

Violent crime is up at unprecedented levels and some 10,000 Israelis gathered in Umm al-Fahm on Friday in protest. One Israeli politician -- MK Mansour Abbas -- was resoundingly rebuffed. Why?

Finally, Berman gives us a teaser of a nuanced, thought provoking he published this week.

Discussed articles include:

ICC announces investigation into Israeli, Palestinian war crimes

Abbas praises ICC prosecutor’s ‘courage’ in opening Israel war crimes probe

Meretz head sparks uproar by saying ICC probe against Israel legitimate

Israel’s dilemma: To work with ICC war crimes probe or not?

After delays, Israel kicks off vaccination drive for 120,000 Palestinian workers

Arab Israelis fret over lagging vaccination rates as Ramadan approaches

Thousands protest police response to Arab crime; dissident MK Abbas chased away

Renegade Arab MK heckled, chased away from Arab Israeli protest

After walling itself in, Israel learns to hazard the jungle beyond
