The Times of Israel Daily Briefing

Why the PM dropped a 2018 deal for Eritrean asylum seekers

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.

Editor David Horovitz and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode.

Yesterday, violent clashes broke out in southern Tel Aviv between Eritrean migrants supporting and opposing the 30-year dictatorial regime. The clashes saw over 150 injured, including some 15 in serious condition. Around 30 policemen were hurt. Although the protest was scheduled, there are allegations the police were unprepared for the level of violence. Fabian weighs in.

Many in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition have released statements since the Eritrean riots. But, as Horovitz explains, in 2018 the prime minister killed a deal with the United Nations that may have prevented them.

On Friday, hundreds of Palestinians rioted in the Gaza Strip on the border with Israel, hurling explosive devices and attempting to break through the security barrier. What prompted them?

An off-duty Israeli soldier was killed and six other people were wounded on Thursday morning in a truck-ramming terror attack at a West Bank checkpoint near the central city of Modiin. Fabian describes the chilling chain of events.

The third anniversary of the Abraham Accords is coming up on September 15. Horovitz shares thoughts from his recent Editor’s Note devoted to Foreign Minister Eli Cohen's meeting with the former Libyan Foreign Minister Najla Mangoush.

Discussed articles include:
