PM pushing for wider power to declare war — report
The Justice Ministry is preparing a draft amendment to Israel’s Basic law that would allow the prime minister to declare war or order a military operation without the authorization of the full cabinet, and even without a vote of all the members of the security cabinet, Channel 2 News reports.
The legislation is being advanced by Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the report.
The amendment is expected to come before the Knesset in the coming session.
