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.

Political correspondent Tal Schneider, military correspondent Emanuel Fabian and legal affairs reporter Jeremy Sharon join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group's Khader Adnan died in Israeli custody on Tuesday after an 86-day hunger strike. Fabian updates on what we know so far and weighs in on how concerned citizens should be at this point after Gaza terror groups have vowed reprisal.

The Knesset’s summer session opened this week. Schneider tells us about yesterday’s stormy session and what the opposition is saying about the ongoing negotiations at the President’s Residence.

At a special Knesset plenum, Speaker of the US House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy pledged that the US would continue to fully fund Israel’s security needs. Sharon fills in what else McCarthy said in his very polite and enthusiastic speech.

Also yesterday at the Knesset, Likud lawmaker May Golan was confirmed as Minister for the Advancement of the Status of Women. Why was she ejected from the Knesset floor a few minutes later?
