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.

Knesset correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn and legal affairs reporter Jeremy Sharon join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in The Times of Israel's Jerusalem offices.

Keller-Lynn reports on the pro-judicial overhaul protest in Thursday where some 20,000 self-proclaimed "right-wing" citizens rallied in support of the coalition's reform package. Keller-Lynn compares the moood with the many anti-overhaul protests she has attended.

The cabinet is set to vote today on what many are calling National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s “private militia.” Sharon explains who is meant to make up the National Guard and what the unit is assigned to patrol.

Last Sunday night, reports of the firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant set off a chain of events leading to the eventual pause of the judicial overhaul package. What is his status a week later?

Sharon looks into the much-cited case of the High Court overriding the Knesset with the legislation against African asylum seekers.

Finally, we hear from Keller-Lynn what she expects in the political realm during the Knesset's Passover break.

Discussed articles include:
