Daily Briefing Sept. 10: Day 340 – Haredi father of murdered hostage takes PM to task
Editor David Horovitz discusses Hezbollah’s attack on Nahariya, Elhanan Danino’s words to Netanyahu, Yariv Levin’s latest judicial attempts and Toronto premiere of ‘The Bibi Files’
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.
ToI editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg on today’s episode.
Horovitz discusses the latest Hezbollah attack in the northern coastal town of Nahariya, and the relentless concerns regarding the danger posed by the Lebanese terrorist organization and how best to tackle it.
Horovitz then describes the anguished, devastating comments made to the prime minister by bereaved father Rabbi Elhanan Danino, whose son, Ori Danino, was one of the six hostages murdered by their Hamas captors in Gaza some 10 days ago. During a condolence call visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, Danino blamed Netanyahu for years of misguided policy that ultimately led to the death of his eldest son.
Horovitz also reviews the latest machinations on the part of Justice Minister Yariv Levin regarding the appointment of a new High Court president.
He also speaks about the Toronto International Film Festival screening of “The Bibi Files,” a documentary about Netanyahu’s graft trials, and the prime minister’s attempts to stop the Canadian screening.
