Netanyahu convening security officials for urgent meeting

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is convening “top security officials” in Jerusalem to discuss the ongoing wave of terror, his aides tell The Times of Israel. In addition, he will meet with a senior visiting dignitary from Asia, they say, declining to specify.

The only event on his public schedule today is an appearance at an commemorative event at Mount Herzl in honor of the late right-wing minister Rehavam Zeevi, who was assassinated by Palestinian terrorists in 2001
