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.

Knesset reporter Carrie Keller-Lynn and US correspondent Luke Tress join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast.

Keller-Lynn looks at the various factors that could shift this election, Israel's fifth in four years.

Tress talks about President Isaac Herzog's visit to the White House and with President Joe Biden last week, including the varying emphases on the US brokered maritime border agreement between Israel and Lebanon, and nuclear talks with Iran.

Tress also discusses the admission of guilt and $5 million penalty being paid by New York's largest Hasidic yeshiva over its misappropriation of government funds.

Discussed articles include:
