&nbsp; 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. <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/writers/lazar-berman/">Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman</a> joins <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/writers/jessica-steinberg/">host Jessica Steinberg</a>&nbsp;for today's episode. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu receives his fifth invitation to visit US President Donald Trump at the White House, discusses Berman, an important opportunity given the Gaza ceasefire that is stuck in its first phase.&nbsp; Berman notes that Trump wants to further Israel's security agreements with Syria, where there were clashes last week between IDF troops and Islamist Syrians. He says that conversation will be the centerpiece of the Trump-Netanyahu meetup, if it takes place. After the US signed major agreements with Saudi Arabia during the recent White House meeting between Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Berman notes that Trump's focus is on other conflicts right now, and not necessarily on Israel and Saudi relations. <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-december-2-2025/">Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.</a> For further reading: <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-speaks-to-netanyahu-warns-israel-not-to-interfere-in-syria/">Trump speaks to Netanyahu, invites him to visit, warns Israel not to &lsquo;interfere&rsquo; in Syria</a> <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/as-trump-and-saudi-prince-heat-up-ties-israel-normalization-left-out-in-the-cold/">As Trump and Saudi prince heat up ties, Israel normalization left out in the cold</a> Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-times-of-israel-daily-briefing/id1547404042"> Apple Podcasts</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1vhvFPvN0fFn5YRHCEcxrn">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnR6FOcOvFdMbb0w1n0Ev0orcVkufgZ89">YouTube,</a> or wherever you get your podcasts.
