PM summons ministers for talk
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu summoned some members of the security cabinet for one-on-one talks late Tuesday, possibly ahead of an agreement with the Palestinians over a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip — which is sure to require Israeli concessions some ministers, such as Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, are likely to oppose.
The prime minister spoke with Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, Finance Minister Yair Lapid, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, Bennett, and Communications Minister Gilad Erdan for private meetings to update them on the latest developments in the talks.
Earlier, Netanyahu canceled a cabinet meeting after the Israeli negotiating team in Cairo reportedly informed him that no progress had been made in the talks.
