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 episode.

Horovitz reviews Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s critical comments about US President Joe Biden made during a Knesset speech on Monday. The prime minister strayed at times from his prepared remarks, and commented more widely on Israel’s retaliatory attacks against Iran and the ongoing war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

He also discusses Netanyahu’s remarks about the leaks from his office over the course of the war, and refers to the prime minister’s fury over being probed for illegal activities.

Finally, Horovitz talks about the comments Netanyahu made regarding the hostages still held in Gaza, even as some of their family members and supporters were kicked out of the Knesset gallery during his speech.
