Listen Later

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.
Today's podcast guests are Times of Israel editor David Horovitz and diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman, hosted by Jessica Steinberg.
Berman fills us in on the recent visit by a Bahraini mission in Israel, including their unusual and unexpected visit to the Western Wall and reactions to the visitors on the street.
Horovitz discusses the recent blackout in Lebanon, the ongoing efforts to find new information on the whereabouts of missing Israeli airman Ron Arad and the alleged attack in Cyprus, and the increasing journalistic difficulty of disseminating what is true and what is not in these ongoing news stories.
Berman fills us in on the Chiune Sugihara saga, and his story about a bureaucratic snafu that was keeping the son of this World War Two Japanese envoy who saved thousands of Jews from the Nazis from traveling to Israel this week for a ceremony in his father's memory.
Finally, Horovitz talks about Israel's late game defeat in Saturday’s World Cup qualifier in Glasgow, shattering its hopes of qualifying for next year’s tournament in Qatar.
Discussed articles include:
