Daily Briefing Jun 19: Breaking up a gov’t is hard to do; looming judicial ‘reforms’
Editor David Horovitz speaks to rumors surrounding the coalition longevity and imminent threats to checks and balances; diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman talks energy security
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.
Editor David Horovitz and diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman join host Amanda Borschel-Dan.
Horovitz updates us on the rumors circling about the upcoming week’s developments in the teetering coalition.
Berman addresses dire headlines of specific threats against Israelis who are currently in Turkey. Why would Iran target Israelis in Turkey of all places?
