The cabinet approves extending the nationwide state of emergency declared by Defense Minister Israel Katz on Friday until June 30.
The extension requires further approval of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, chaired by Likud MK Yuli Edelstein.
The state of emergency allows the cabinet to issue regulations that override Knesset legislation.
