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 Palestinian Affairs correspondent Aaron Boxerman join host Amanda Borschel-Dan.

There was an action-packed Knesset session yesterday in which the coalition fought off two votes of no-confidence, with a little help from — not Ra’am, which is still in the midst of a three-week freeze from voting with the coalition — but its "friends" in the six-member Arab Joint List party. What’s going on here?

Jordanian King Hussein is set to meet with US President Joe Biden at the White House. Among the topics up for discussion is a demand from Jordan that it be allowed to increase the staff of the Waqf, which is responsible for day-to-day administration of the Temple Mount.

Last week we began hearing reports that Israel is planning to green light some 4,000 new units in Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Additionally, it will legalize some already built neighborhoods and settlements. Predictably, the US opposed, saying it would harm the path towards a two-state solution. How does this affect the US-PA relationship?

Yesterday, Judge Khaled Kabub became the first Muslim appointed to Israel’s Supreme Court. The 64-year-old Kabub, who until now served as vice president of the Tel Aviv District Court, will take the place of retiring justice Neal Hendel. Who is he?

Discussed articles include:
