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.

US correspondent Jacob Magid and US reporter Luke Tress join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast.

Tress offers update on announcement of New York State prevention unit meant to help crack down on antisemitism, which has been on a steady rise in the last few years.

Magid discusses his separate interviews with ex-Meretz MK Yair Golan and Hadash-Ta’al’s Ayman Odeh at the recent J Street conference, each with their own differing views regarding what's next for resurrecting Israel's left.

Tress talks about uncovering anti-Israel comments made on social media by a UN investigator now tasked with reporting on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories.

Magid speaks about lessons from the World Cup, where there has been an overall sense of pro-Palestinian sentiments amidst the playing field of the Abraham Accords.

Discussed articles include:
