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.

US correspondent Jacob Magid and political reporter Carrie Keller Lynn join host Jessica Steinberg, with a special report from diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman on his way to Lviv.

Berman offers a brief account of his travels from the Polish border to Lviv, on a night train bringing Ukrainians to enlist as well as other travelers heading back to Ukraine to assist family members.

Keller-Lynn reports on former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's comments about the Russian invasion, and his concerns regarding the need to focus on the Iran nuclear deal.

Magid speaks about Israel's decision to vote in favor of the UN resolution condemning the Russian invasion, and how the Israeli position affects its current relationship with the US.

Keller-Lynn discusses comments made by the Ukrainian ambassador regarding his disappointment in Israel's handling of Ukrainian refuge-seekers who recently arrived in Israel.

She also comments on the ambassador's comment regarding Ukrainian assistance to Jews during the Holocaust, a comment that raised eyebrows during the press conference.

Magid closes up the podcast with an update about the talks with Iran, and how the Russian invasion into Ukraine may or may not affect the outcome.
