Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has summoned ministers in the small war cabinet to a meeting Sunday at 10 a.m., an hour before the full cabinet meeting, Hebrew media outlets report.
The meeting is in response to the formation of US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, whose executive committee is set to include senior officials from staunch Israel critics Turkey and Qatar, according to the Walla news site.
“We will hold a discussion and see how we respond to this,” Walla cites an unnamed diplomatic source as saying, after Netanyahu’s office took public issue with the panel’s makeup.
