Hi, welcome to the Times Visuals Daily Briefing.

It's Monday, April 6th, and I'm Jessica Steinberg.

I'm speaking today with political correspondence Sam Sokol.

Maudimusimha, all those things.

We are still in the middle of Passover over here.

Other people, another two people were injured, including one seriously, in the latest

cluster missile attack on Central Israel this morning, as the Iranian war is in its

six weeks. We're going to look at some related topics this morning, Homefront Command

restrictions on public gatherings, and that, as it related to protests that were held in different areas of the country on Saturday night,

but also with priestly blessings that were held in the Western Wall compound and on the Temple Mount.

Sam will take us through some of that.

And we're also going to look back to a little over a week ago right before Passover when the Knesset passed the 2026 state budget, which means that elections will not be held in the next couple of months.

They raised defense spending and earmarked billions of shekels to the Haredi educational system.

Again, Sam will take us through all of that. Stay with us.
