Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.
It is day 224 of the war with Hamas. Political reporter Sam Sokol joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode.
Sokol discusses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's opposing pressures this week between his coalition and cabinet regarding governance in Gaza after the war, as Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is pushing for some decisions. The disagreement has created another looming coalition crisis, as some far-right politicians call for Gallant's ouster, and not for the first time in this government.
He then looks at the other pressure playing out for the prime minister, as Netanyahu attempted this week to revive an older piece of legislation regarding the ultra-Orthodox draft, in a political scramble to find some degree of enlistment while keeping his coalition intact.

Discussed articles include:
Far-right politicians demand Gallant be fired for challenging PM on Gaza’s future
Gallant to PM: Reject Israeli military, civil rule of Gaza after Hamas; I won’t allow it
Netanyahu says he’ll advance Haredi IDF enlistment bill that lowers exemption age
Ministerial pushback may have nixed cabinet discussion on Haredi enlistment bill
Diverse backgrounds give way to shared fate as Gaza friendly-fire victims eulogized
THOSE WE HAVE LOST: Civilians and soldiers killed in Hamas's onslaught on Israel
THOSE WE ARE MISSING: The hostages and victims whose fate is still unknown
