Bennett cries victory on Iran guard & Turkey FM flies in

Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and Tech Israel editor Ricky Ben-David from Morocco join host Amanda Borschel-Dan. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett revealed yesterday that US President Joe Biden updated him last month on his final decision to keep Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organizations list. Why is this important and considered a win for Bennett? Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu is currently in Israel and the Palestinian Authority. But what is perhaps more telling is who didn’t join the entourage. Israeli and Moroccan organizations signed a number of business and tech agreements on Monday, as part of the inaugural “Connect to Innovate” conference. What’s going on here? Ben-David shares a personal side to her trip, including what she's hearing from her hotel window. Discussed articles include: Bennett mourns ‘horrific murder of innocent children and teachers’ in Texas massacre Bennett: Biden notified me last month of decision to keep Iran Guards on terror list FM’s visit shows Turkey eager to accelerate reconciliation, but Israel more cautious In Casablanca, Morocco and Israel see the beginning of a beautiful tech friendship Moroccan Jews return to their roots with pilgrimage to Meknes ILLUSTRATIVE IMAGE: A demonstrator holds an anti-Israeli placard in a pro-Palestinians gathering in Tehran, Iran, May 19, 2021.
