Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWelcome 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 military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan. Political correspondent Tal Schneider brings us a duo of interviews from the sidelines of the “Negev Summit” in Sde Boker.
Yesterday two gunmen opened fire at a Hadera bus stop, shooting at passersby and police officers. Two Border Police officers, Yazan Falah and Shirel Aboukrat, both 19, were killed. Fabian brings details of the attack and what has been cleared for publication about the perpetrators.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who has tested positive for the coronavirus, issued a statement saying: “A second attack by Islamic State supporters in Israel requires the security forces to adapt quickly to a new threat, and they have.” After two attacks by Islamic State supporters, are we seeing a new trend of terrorism?
Berman is currently in Sde Boker for the landmark Negev Summit. He updates us on yesterday’s sessions, including rumors that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken asked Israel to arm Ukraine, and previews what is in store for today.
Finally, Schneider speaks with Israel’s first Ambassador to Morocco David Govrin and Israeli Ambassador to Egypt Amira Oron from the summit’s sidelines.
