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 and senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur are on today's podcast, with Jessica Steinberg hosting.

The two reporters discuss the first 100 days of the Bennett-Lapid government, which was inaugurated in June.

While the first months of a new government are usually considered a grace period, this government had to work quickly to pass the delayed budget and establish itself, breaking new ground, points out Rettig Gur.

Schneider comments on the pressure from former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party, the largest political party in the Knesset that is doing its best to upset and dismantle the currently fragile coalition.

Discussed articles include:
