What Is Good Morning, Israel?
Good Morning, Israel is a daily Israeli news podcast in English from baba News. Every morning at 5:30 Israel time, two hosts, Maya and Daniel, take you through the biggest stories from Israel: security, politics, the economy and the world. Each episode runs five to seven minutes, covers the most important stories in depth, and ends with one thing to watch for the day ahead.
The stories come from baba News, which reads more than forty Israeli newsrooms, much of it published only in Hebrew, and groups every report about the same event. For reading rather than listening, see Israeli news in English and Hebrew news in English, or open the live wire at news.itsbaba.com.
