Cabinet meeting, key security meeting with IDF chief delayed due to PM’s hospitalization
Following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hospitalization to have a cardiac pacemaker implanted, the weekly cabinet meeting scheduled for the morning will be delayed to a yet-unknown time.
Also postponed are key security discussions — including a reported planned meeting between the premier and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi — on the impact on Israel’s security of the coalition’s “reasonableness” bill and the retaliatory threat by thousands of reservists to stop their duty if it passes.
