Daily Briefing Oct. 21: Day 746 - Vance flies in to help keep Trump's Gaza plan moving

David Horovitz, founding editor of The Times of Israel, joined the Daily Briefing to discuss recent developments in Israel and the region. The body of hostage Tal Haimi was returned to Israel, highlighting the ongoing anguish of families still awaiting news of their loved ones, as questions persist about the motives behind the slow release of hostages. The arrival of United States Vice President JD Vance, along with special envoy Steve Witkoff and White House adviser Jared Kushner, underscores the American push to maintain the fragile ceasefire and advance President Donald Trump's comprehensive peace plan for Gaza.

Horovitz also addressed the tense opening session of the Knesset, which revealed deep divisions among lawmakers and society. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended his approach to the Gaza deal, rejecting opposition claims that hostages could have been freed earlier. The session was marked by controversy over the speaker's refusal to recognize Isaac Amit as Supreme Court president, drawing criticism from President Isaac Herzog and reflecting ongoing tensions between the government and the judiciary.
