- News
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 216 of the war with Hamas. Times of Israel founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode.
Horovitz discusses US President Joe Biden's "bombshell" series of comments regarding withholding weaponry for Israel to attack Rafah in Gaza, and how the Israeli mainstream and right-wing politicians are reacting.
He talks about Israeli dependence on American weaponry and how Israel and the US need to find a way to resolve this latest issue.
Horovitz then tackles Hamas' counter-proposal to the hostage situation, calling it a "deceitful" offer that will not bring home most of the hostages, and which aims to free many of their high-level security prisoners, bringing some home to the West Bank, in order to inflame that region and open a second front.
For the latest updates, please see The Times of Israel’s ongoing live blog.
Discussed articles include:
Biden accused of helping Hamas as Israel outraged by threatened weapons freeze
Biden: I won’t give Israel offensive weapons to attack in populated parts of Rafah
Sinister Hamas terms would let it keep most hostages, win the war, inflame the West Bank
Visiting CIA chief said to tell Netanyahu he still sees chance for deal with Hamas
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
