Ministers told they cannot bring advisers to cabinet meeting at secure location – report

The Ynet news site says ministerial advisers will not be permitted to attend the cabinet meeting today, which is being held at a new location amid security concerns.

According to the outlet, ministers were surprised to receive a message this morning informing them that the location for the cabinet meeting has moved and that the new site does not have parking available or a waiting area for aides.

Ministers were told that if they arrive armed, they will not be permitted to enter the building with a weapon, the outlet also reports.

Ynet says that despite the security threats, the meeting is not being held at the newly built underground bunker outside Jerusalem.

The decision to not hold the cabinet meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem or IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv was reportedly made in response to the Hezbollah drone attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea earlier this month.
