Settlers continue battle at outpost after terrorist attacks

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. Environmental reporter Sue Surkes and legal affairs and settlement reporter Jeremy Sharon join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Sharon discusses attempts by Israel's border police to evacuate the Evyatar settlement outpost on Monday, after settlers spent the night on the West Bank hilltop following the terror shootings of brothers Halleli and Yagel Yaniv. Surkes looks at the rehabilitation plans for a section of the Jordan River, which has experienced shrinkage, partially because of water being diverted by Syria, Jordan, and Israel for human needs.  Sharon talks about some possible first signs of compromise on the highly controversial judicial reform during Monday's Constitution committee, as chair MK Simcha Rothman and opposition MK Yariv Kariv held a constructive debate. Surkes describes an Israeli-run company that uses compost to make a variety of products, including biodegradable plant pots. Discussed articles include: Security forces begin emptying Evyatar outpost, reoccupied by settlers after attack Environmental groups to press for rehabilitation of Jordan River, Dead Sea First hint of compromise on judicial review legislation emerges at Knesset panel Who chooses judges: The evolution and planned radical overhaul of judicial selection Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.
