Attorney general rejects demand to order security cabinet meeting on Gaza

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit rejects Education Minister Naftali Bennett’s request that he order the security cabinet to convene for talks on the Gaza Strip.

Mandelblit’s pronouncement comes after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a security cabinet meeting in response to Bennett’s demand.

Bennett, who is campaigning to be appointed defense minister after elections on April 9, has strongly criticized Netanyahu over his policies toward Gaza in the wake of recent violence emanating from the Palestinian enclave.
