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.

Military correspondent Emmanuel Fabian and reporter Michael Horovitz join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast.

Horovitz describes scene of massive Tel Aviv protest Saturday night demonstrating against prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new government and the coalition's planned judicial overhaul.

Fabian discusses recent spate of West Bank clashes amidst plans by finance minister Bezalel Smotrich and public security minister Itamar Ben Gvir to change defense and policing systems in the region.

Fabian also dissects some of the comments made by outgoing IDF chief of staff Aviv Kohavi regarding Smotrich's West Bank powers and why the IDF should only report to the defense minister.

Steinberg comments on a new documentary, "The Narrow Bridge," making rounds of film festivals, created by Australian trauma psychologist Esther Takac about healing process of four people grieving from tragic losses due to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Discussed articles include:
