Daily Briefing Jan. 1: Day 87 – New Year’s Eve rockets; outrage as minister insults pilots
Political correspondent Tal Schneider discusses cabinet spat and Hezbollah tunnels as blogs editor Miriam Herschlag looks at top op-eds of 2023
Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.
Today is day 87 of the war. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and blogs editor Miriam Herschlag join host Jessica Steinberg for today’s podcast.
Schneider looks at the scene in the cabinet on Sunday, as right-wing Settlements Minister Orit Strock accused IDF pilots of not carrying out their missions properly, causing an uproar in the room.
Herschlag discusses the past year in the Times of Israel blogs platform, focusing on the heavy-hitting posts since October 7 as well as the topics that resonated before the war, including the proposed judicial reform, the “That Song” project and the most popular post of the year.
Schneider finishes up the podcast with a discussion of the tunnel system built by Hezbollah and Israel’s desire to find a diplomatic solution rather than war with its enemies in the north.
