Daily Briefing Nov 27: Day 52 - On hostage return, joy and vows to rebuild Gaza border area

Reporter Canaan Lidor on kibbutz angst as some members return – and some may never; legal reporter Jeremy Sharon on how Israel may prosecute detained terrorists

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 52 of the war. Reporter Canaan Lidor and legal reporter Jeremy Sharon join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today’s podcast.

Last night, 14 Israeli citizens returned to Israel: nine children, two mothers, two more women, and one man from Gaza. We discuss how their communities received news of their return, with a slew of mixed emotions.

Israeli security forces captured several dozen of the 3,000 terrorists involved in the atrocities of October 7. Sharon looks at the options in front of Israel for prosecuting the terrorists.

Finally, Lidor visited Abirim, five kilometers from the Lebanon border, and reports on how this community is getting lost in the bureaucratic shuffle, even as most of its citizens have evacuated.
