The cabinet will meet on Sunday for the first time in two weeks after Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara ruled that it was not sufficient for the government ministers to confer via telephone alone.

Baharav-Miara said such a procedure was reserved only for emergency situations and the cabinet had an obligation to meet in person.

The meeting is currently scheduled for Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at the military headquarters in Tel Aviv.

Since the start of the war on October 7, the cabinet has issued over 70 decisions decided by a telephone poll.
