Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will reconvene his security cabinet on Thursday to decide on the next stage of the war against Hamas in Gaza, the office of one of ministers tells The Times of Israel.
Netanyahu held a discussion with a smaller group of top aides and ministers this evening at the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv, which did not lead to a decision on the future of Operation Gideon’s Chariots. According to the Maariv daily, the forum wants to allow a few more days for attempts to make progress on a hostage release deal with Hamas to bear fruit.
According to multiple reports, Netanyahu is expected to fly to Washington at the beginning of next week, though that has not been confirmed by his office.
