Welcome to the Times of Israel's daily briefing. Today is Sunday, April 19th. I'm Amanda Borschall

Dan here in our Jerusalem studio with diplomatic correspondent Laser Bearman. Laser, thank you so much

for joining me and Shavua Tov. Shavua Tov, Boakir Tov, even Chodesh tov. We just had Rosh Chodesh over the weekend.

That is true. So we're in the month of E.R. And we are in the midst of two ceasefires now.

We have one ceasefire with Iran that is between the U.S. and Iran and Israel is also abiding by it.

And it is meant to go through at least Wednesday, which is Israel's

Independence Day. We also have a surprise ceasefire in the southern Lebanon, which was brokered by the U.S.

And shall we say imposed on Israel. So we are going to talk through both of these ceasefires.

We're going to talk about the state of, shall we call it, the disunion, all of this and more after the break.

Hi, I'm Lydia Morgan, chief operations officer of the Jerusalem Institute of Justice, or J.I.J.

Have you heard of us? We are the only organization in Israel that meets the legal needs of wounded IDF soldiers completely free of charge. We are able to do this with the help of caring people like you. 22,000 soldiers have returned home with physical and psychological wounds. At a time when they should be focused on healing and rebuilding their lives,

they need to battle crushing bureaucracy just to receive recognition and rehabilitation.

This is disgraceful.

That's why our legal team steps in and walks with them through the process beginning to end.

The results are proven as we have represented over 400

veterans and won them more than $10 million in benefits. Each dollar goes directly to the heroes

and their families. Please support our work and help the wounded right now at jayj.org slash help.

And we're back. I'm Amanda Borchelle Dan here with our diplomatic correspondent,

Laser Bearman. Before we get into the details, I have a correction from an episode last week,

which I conducted with Diana Bletter, and we were talking about post-mortem sperm retrieval.

And I wrongly said that Sharon Eisencott, who received permission to have... and we were talking about post-mortem sperm retrieval.
