Netanyahu to convene security cabinet in Jerusalem tomorrow evening to approve Gaza war plans

Nava Freiberg is The Times of Israel's deputy diplomatic correspondent.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene his security cabinet at 6 p.m. tomorrow at his office in Jerusalem, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.

During a three-hour security discussion among a smaller group yesterday, Netanyahu was presented with options for continued military operations in Gaza by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.

The cabinet is reportedly expected to approve a full military occupation of the Strip during tomorrow’s meeting, despite Zamir and army officials warning against the move.
