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.

Legal reporter Jeremy Sharon and environment reporter Sue Surkes join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode.

Last night, some 150 right-wing activists rally outside the Tel Aviv home of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to demand her ouster. These protesters arrived after roughly twice as many people began protesting in support of the attorney general. Baharav-Miara has frequently clashed with members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing government, and disagreements have increased amid ongoing investigations into the premier’s staff. Sharon explains what the most recent controversies include.

Surkes returned earlier this week from Baku, Azerbaijan, where she attended a large chunk of the annual United Nations COP (Conference of the Parties) confab — better known as COP29. It kicked off on November 11 and will end on Friday. We discuss what the conference is meant to accomplish versus the cognitive dissonance she found on the ground.

For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel’s ongoing live blog.

Discussed articles include:

Ministers rage at ‘anarchist’ AG, with one implying she’s trying to ‘kill’ Netanyahu

Cabinet okays forced retirement for government legal advisers, ignoring AG criticism

Labor minister agrees to court-proposed compromise on Haredi daycare subsidies

At the third UN climate confab to be held in a petrostate, fact and fantasy collide
