Daily Briefing Nov 5: Day 30 – Two US carrier strike groups now watching Israel’s back
Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman with updates on fighting in Gaza and fraying ties with Abraham Accords partners; reporter Sue Surkes on horse mediation therapy for rave survivors
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.
Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and reporter Sue Surkes join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today’s episode.
We are on Day 30 of the war with Hamas that erupted four weeks ago when some 3,000 Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel and perpetrated a massacre in towns surrounding the Gaza Strip, killing some 1,400, mostly civilians. There are still some 200 remains to be identified from that Black Shabbat.
Berman updates us on what has been happening during the ground operation in Gaza over the past several days.
We hear about Israel’s cooperation with CENTCOM and how — with the two carrier strike groups now in the region — the US has Israel’s back in a very physically present manner.
Berman further updates us on which other countries have pulled their ambassadors over the weekend.
Surkes speaks about the new horse meditation treatment for survivors of the massacre at the Supernova rave.
