Daily Briefing Apr 25: Temple Mount tit-for-tat, with Jordan; rocket fired in north
US correspondent Jacob Magid exposes rejected US-initiative for Israel-Jordan cooperation on Temple Mount; military correspondent Emanuel Fabian visits new Negev Yad Vashem branch
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.
US correspondent Jacob Magid and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan.
The IDF said early Monday that its forces attacked targets in Lebanon after a rocket was fired into Israel earlier in the night. Fabian fills us in.
Earlier on Sunday evening, US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke on the phone. Magid shares with us the known — and previously unknown — content of the phone call yesterday.
Israel’s southern border has seen its share of action this past week. Fabian explains what economic sanctions are being taken there.
Magid brings us a very important different angle on the Temple Mount flareups today — how it affects Israel’s relationship with Jordan and how the US tried to prevent more flareups.
And finally, ahead of Yom Hashoah, Fabian visited a new Yad Vashem branch in the Negev that is initially specifically for IDF soldiers.
