Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convenes his security cabinet in Jerusalem, as doubts emerge about the future disarmament of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Outgoing Mossad chief David Barnes and the nominee for his replacement, Military Secretary Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman both attend, as does interim Shin Bet director Gil Reich.

Netanyahu will meet later this month with US President Donald Trump, who is pushing for Israel to move to phase 2 of his plan for Gaza.
