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 United States correspondent Jacob Magid and political correspondent Tal Schneider, along with host Raoul Wootliff.

On today's show, we look at President Reuven Rivlin's trip to the US – who he's met, what's been said and what the significance of the visit is.

We'll take a specific look at his meeting with US President Joe Biden and their discussions about both Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and the Iran deal. What does it all mean for the future of Israel ties?

And finally, we'll look at alleged efforts by former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to drive a wedge between the new US and Israeli administrations.
