Summary
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.
US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg on today's episode.
Magid reviews the nearly one-hour-long call held between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden on Wednesday, about Israel's plans to attack Iran, although that was only discussed briefly. He discusses the US "walking away" from its initial push for a 21-day ceasefire with Hezbollah, and US support of IDF raids into Lebanon.
Magid looks at the clear frustrations the US administration has with Netanyahu, the continuing lack of a ceasefire and negotiations, and the blame game with the Israeli leader as well as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
He also discusses comments made by former Biden aide Andrew Miller about how Israel approaches military actions in civilian areas, how the US administration had to change its approach in influencing Israel and the ongoing war, and the need to plan for the day after in Gaza.
For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel’s ongoing live blog.
Discussed articles include:
One year since Oct. 7, US resigned to limits of its influence over Netanyahu
US official: Sinwar likely alive in Gaza tunnel ‘with hostages in his vicinity’
Ex-Biden aide claims Israel has more tolerance for causing civilian casualties than US
Biden and Netanyahu hold ‘direct and productive’ call in wake of Iranian attack
