Daily Briefing Nov 6: How rise of far-right challenges Israel’s global relationships

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 military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today’s episode.

Early Friday morning, the Israeli military struck a rocket factory in the Gaza Strip, hours after four rockets were launched at Israel from the Hamas-run Palestinian enclave. What sparked this most recent exchange of fire?

We hear about ripple effects from the November 1 election, starting with a recent statement from Bahrain.

The British government said on Thursday that it would not relocate its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, backing away from a pledge made by former prime minister Liz Truss shortly before she left office last month, to weigh the matter. Any surprise here?

A US-based Orthodox Jewish nonprofit on Wednesday announced a new partnership with the Israeli military to provide kosher food and other supplies to soldiers who arrive in the country for joint training and other activities with American forces. Is kosher food so hard to find in the US?
