Daily Briefing, April 4: How Israel reacted to Bucha and concerns over Ramadan

Political correspondent Tal Schneider on delayed Israeli response to Ukraine killings, and the PM-King Abdullah meeting; environmental reporter Sue Surkes on climate change funding

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 correspondent Tal Schneider and environmental reporter Sue Surkes join host Jessica Steinberg for today’s podcast.

Schneider discusses the Israeli reaction to shocking images and photos from Bucha, Ukraine, and why the official Israeli response was delayed.

She also unpacks the recent conversation between Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Jordanian King Abdullah regarding Ramadan and the need to tread carefully given the recent spate of terror attacks.

Surkes reflects on major climate conferences and the questionable effectiveness of the gatherings, given the lack of funding for new technologies.

She reports on a possible Israeli plan to create government bonds to move forward on sustainability goals.

Discussed articles include:
