NextImg:Daily Briefing Apr. 8: Day 550 – Surprises for prime minister during DC trip

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.

Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Jessica Steinberg for today’s episode.

Berman first discusses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trip to Hungary, followed by his unexpected stop in the US. Netanyahu was welcomed warmly by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. A call between Orban, Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump during the visit led the Israeli prime minister to accept the last-minute invite to head to the US for a meeting in the Oval Office.

Berman says Trump surprised Netanyahu with several statements, including his announcement about high-level talks this Saturday between the US and Iran, the existing tariffs on Israel, and unexpectedly effusive comments and praise from Trump for Turkey’s Erdogan.

The matter of the 59 remaining hostages in Gaza did not dominate the conversation, although it was discussed, says Berman.
