NextImg:Daily Briefing Jan. 29: Day 481 – Is Trump’s new deal moving Gazans out of Gaza?

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 for today’s episode.

Magid takes a look at US President Donald Trump’s first week in office, including controversial comments regarding relocating Gazans to neighboring countries during the reconstruction of parts of Gaza, despite Egypt and Jordan viewing the influx of Palestinians as a security threat.

He also discusses Steve Witkoff’s role in hostage negotiations and his seemingly personal connection to the families of released hostages, as the envoy touches down in Israel for talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about Saudi Arabia, among other things.

Magid shares insights from his interview with Barbara Leaf, a top Middle East diplomat from the Biden administration, as they explored the ongoing challenges in postwar Gaza. Leaf expressed regret over the lack of a plan for Gaza, and commented that recent developments in Syria and Lebanon could positively impact regional stability.

Finally, Magid looks at the Trump administration’s claims about foreign aid spending during the Biden years, including a controversy regarding US foreign aid for supposed condom distribution in Gaza.
