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 panel comprises our political correspondent Tal Schneider and our senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur, along with host Raoul Wootliff.

On today's show, we look at the first moves of the new government and what they say about the sea-change in Israeli politics that it represents. What messages is Prime Minister Naftali Bennett sending so far and how is it trying to differentiate himself from Benjamin Netanyahu?

Then, what state did Netanyahu leave the Prime Minister's Office in and what is he being accused of doing before he left? We look a the allegation of destroying key documents and what the former PM may be trying to hide.

And, other than Netanyahu, we analyze the recent statements and moves of those left out of the new coalition – the ultra-Orthodox parties. What are their considerations moving forward?

Discussed articles include:

Report: PMO staff describes ‘significant’ paper shredding before Bennett arrival
