Daily Briefing June 21: In grim repeat, deadly terror shooting spurs settler rioting

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.

Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian and US bureau chief Jacob Magid join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today’s episode.

Nachman Mordoff and Elisha Anteman, both 17, 21-year-old Harel Masood and 64-year-old Ofer Fayerman were shot dead Tuesday afternoon near the West Bank settlement of Eli. Fabian takes us through what we know about the attack and its perpetrators.

Following the deadly attack, last night we saw a grim repeat of settler vandalism and violence in Palestinian locations near the settlement of Eli. What do we know so far about the damage wrought?

US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides issued two condemnations. Magid breaks down how the doubling up occurred.

Magid learned yesterday that Morocco has decided to cancel plans to host the second ministerial gathering of the Negev Forum. What is the country’s reasoning?

This week the White House issued condemnations against announcements of settlement expansions and reminders of the need for consensus for the judicial overhaul. Magid fills us in.

And finally, we hear an update about the potential for direct flights from Israel to Saudi Arabia.
