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.
Senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur and political analyst Carrie Keller-Lynn join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode.
We are in day 34 of the war with Hamas and international media is reporting that Qatar is mediating negotiations between Israel and Hamas for the potential release of 10-15 hostages held in Gaza in exchange for a humanitarian pause in fighting of up to three days. Rettig Gur explains how this could be the wrong decision for Israel.
Keller-Lynn has conducted an in-depth investigation into whether or not physical evidence of rape was collected from the scores of bodies that exhibited preliminary signs of sexual abuse. She explains why this proof is becoming increasingly important.

Day 33 - In the post-truth era, 'massacre denial' is taking root
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.
Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren and diplomacy reporter Lazar Berman join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode.
We are in day 33 of the war with Hamas and the rocket attacks in the north and south are unabated. Berman updates with what’s happening in the tit-for-tat from Lebanon and explains how the war in Gaza is progressing -- for now.
There has been a sharp uptick in Gazans from the northern strip making their way south. Berman explains what we are seeing and its significance.
We hear about the diplomatic frontline and which ambassador has just been pulled.
Berman gives a sad update on the Gazan mothers whose children have undergone surgery here and are stuck here during the war.
Goren takes a step back and discusses the dangers when those taken captive in Gaza are lumped together as a topic, "the hostages."
As the world marks the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the night of broken glass, in addition to the constant Holocaust denial, there is on social media an increased presence of “massacre deniers.” Goren explains the dangers here.

Day 35 - Report from inside Gaza with IDF combat engineers
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.
Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's special one-on-one episode.
We are on day 35 of the war with Hamas and as of this morning, 36 IDF soldiers have been killed during the ground operation in Gaza. Fabian describes how in the past several days, the IDF has continued to achieve its goals inside the Gaza Strip and has reached near the Shifa Hospital, which the IDF has said is the headquarters of the terror group.
The IDF has completed airstrikes in Syria after a drone attacked a school in Eilat, Israel's southernmost city. What’s the connection?
The Palestinian Authority has claimed that 14 Palestinians were killed in recent Jenin clashes. What is happening here? And we hear updates on continued tit-for-tat fighting in the north.
Fabian journeyed inside the Gaza Strip with the IDF’s Combat Engineering Corps. We hear about proverbial monsters under a child’s bed and a portal into a dark world.
