NextImg:Daily Briefing Mar. 27: Day 538 – Knesset passes judicial selection law, what now?

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.

Times of Israel founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today’s Daily Briefing.

Following the early morning passage of the highly controversial law that greatly increases political power and influence over the judicial appointments process in Israel, Horovitz discusses details of the measure, and the fact that it will only come into effect in the next Knesset, meaning after Israel’s next general elections, currently scheduled for October 2026.

Horovitz discusses why this step is being taken now by the coalition government and how the opposition parties and Israeli society are reacting to it, a measure that has been in the making since the right-wing government was elected in November 2022.

There have been waves of protests over the last ten days, with rallies calling for the return of the hostages and anti-government demonstrations in Jerusalem. Horovitz looks at what’s being said at those gatherings and whether they have any effect on current politics.

He also speaks about the continuing protests in Gaza, reportedly against Hamas, although the terror group claims that the Gazans are protesting Israel’s return to IDF strikes.
