Defense minister threatens while seeking calm


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.

Military reporter Emanuel Fabian and political correspondent Tal Schneider join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast.

Fabian offers update on aftermath of Friday night terrorist attack that killed seven, following press conference Sunday with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who said the police had sealed the terrorist's family home and that Israel would revoke rights of family members and deport them, if needed.

Schneider discusses the latest in the government’s planned overhaul of the legal system, as attorney Gur Bligh, legal advisor of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, pushes back at Knesset law panel chair MK Simcha Rothman, suggesting holding off on the judicial reform package until the next election cycle.

Fabian speaks about the Saturday night drone attack that struck a defense facility in the Iranian city of Isfahan, and was carried out by Israel, according to reports from The New York Times. Fabian discusses the purpose behind the reported attack, ostensibly to protect Israel's own security interests.

Discussed articles include:

Defense minister: Every terrorist will either go to court or the cemetery

Knesset law panel chair seeks to expedite judicial upheaval, with some changes

Knesset legal adviser: Judicial overhaul should take effect only after next election

Report: Israel carried out drone attack on Iranian defense facility
