Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pushed off a vacation to the Golan Heights and is instead holding security deliberations at the Kirya military base in Tel Aviv.
The premier is slated to hold talks with IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi that Hebrew media reports say will address security issues and military readiness, amid concerns that protests by reserve soldiers opposed to the government’s judicial overhaul could hurt Israel’s preparedness for war.
