Prime Minister Yair Lapid says he will invite opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu to a security briefing on the Lebanon maritime border deal, his office says.
It is not clear if Netanyahu — who has spoken vociferously against the deal — will accept the invitation. While Netanyahu rejected such face-to-face briefings while Naftali Bennett was prime minister, he met twice with Lapid in August.
The security cabinet voted earlier today to advance the agreement with Lebanon to a full cabinet vote. Many opposition figures have called for a full Knesset vote on the issue due to the current government’s interim nature, and criticized the deal as a poor one for Israel.
