The Times of Israel Daily Briefing

Will new restitution law turn Poland and Israel into best frenemies?


Listen Later

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 diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and military reporter Judah Ari Gross, along with host Amanda Borschel-Dan.
Poland’s president approved a law on Saturday that will effectively prevent future restitution to the heirs of property seized by the Nazis during the Holocaust. The backlash has been fierce out of the Israeli government, which includes several ministers who are children of Holocaust survivors. Can the two "allies" weather this crisis?
The IDF has been conscripted to help fight the battle against COVID. Gross explains what is new in the increased call-up and what are some lessons learned from the past 18 months of the coronavirus pandemic?
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid spent part of last week in Morocco, a year to the announcement of the Abraham Accords. What is the significance of the trip and how was the food?
Finally, Gross dissects the increased use of reconnaissance drones coming out of both Gaza and Lebanon. And as Lebanon burns, why the international community is watching from the sidelines.
Discussed articles include:
