Daily Briefing Jun 15: And the winners are… MK Karine Elharrar – and PM Netanyahu?

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.

Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and Knesset correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today’s episode.

Yesterday was a rollercoaster day in the Knesset with the long-awaited vote for the Judicial Selection Committee. What actually ended up happening was beyond our imagination. Keller-Lynn explains what played out on this colorful day.

There is increased talk of a “less-for-less” nuclear deal with Iran and according to Hebrew media reports, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed officials of the details of a potential “mini” agreement and said that Israel would be able to accept it. What do we know so far?

Berman met with high-level Hungarian minister Gergely Gulyás, who was part of the team that wrote Hungary’s new constitution, the Fundamental Law of Hungary, in 2011. What brought him to Israel this week?

Berman brought us insight into Egypt’s somewhat muted response following the lone gunman attack last week that killed three IDF soldiers. What happened in October 1985?
