Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene a security consultation tonight at 8 p.m., the offices of two of the attendees tell The Times of Israel, as Egypt continues to push its proposal for a new ceasefire in Gaza.

Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar will participate despite ongoing attempts by Netanyahu to fire him.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir is invited, as is Mossad director David Barnea.

Senior cabinet ministers will also attend, including Defense Minister Israel Katz, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
