Negev, Galilee and National Resilience Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf from the far-right Otzma Yehudit party is joining the national security cabinet as an observer, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.

The national security cabinet makes decisions on the conduct of the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, though Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds smaller consultations on key issues ahead of cabinet meetings.
