Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWelcome 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 88 of the war. Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren and legal reporter Jeremy Sharon join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today’s podcast.
We have dedicated the entire edition to the groundbreaking High Court ruling that yesterday negated the only piece of judicial overhaul legislation that has been passed into law — an amendment to Basic Law: The Judiciary that is commonly known as the “reasonableness law.”
We’ll hear what the full bench of 15 justices decided, how the decision is being received in Israel and where the war-torn country goes from here.
Finally, we are introduced to Zman Yisrael’s “Uprooted” series, which we at The Times of Israel are translating into English.
