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.
Political writer Tal Schneider and US correspondent Jacob Magid join host Jessica Steinberg for today’s podcast.
Schneider discusses events in the new Knesset, including efforts to extract Shas party leader Aryeh Deri from his legal wrangling in order to make him a cabinet minister and more about the extremist one-man political party Avi Maoz of Noam.
Magid talks about how the Biden administration will handle the new government, given the president’s long-standing ties with incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who will have to carefully navigate his coalition members vis-a-vis the US.
Discussed articles include:
‘A crisis of trust’: Deri said to rage at Netanyahu over broken coalition promises
Trump’s own ex-antisemitism envoy is latest to bash him for Kanye, Fuentes meeting
Lapid: Netanyahu and allies intend to dismantle the democratic foundations of Israel
