Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene a limited security meeting today to discuss military plans for Gaza, Channel 12 reports.
Attending the meeting will be Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, and IDF Operations Directorate head Maj. Gen. Itzik Cohen, according to Channel 12.
During the session, Zamir is expected to present Netanyahu with several operational options for continuing the war in Gaza. The goal of the meeting is to finalize a plan to present later this week at a broader cabinet meeting that Netanyahu has announced, adds the network.
According to reports, following yesterday’s cabinet meeting, Netanyahu told ministers he intends to seek cabinet approval for a full re-occupation of the Gaza Strip — a move facing pushback from some in the military.
