Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene his security cabinet on Tuesday, an aide to one of the ministers tells The Times of Israel.
The full cabinet is slated to meet later today.
The meetings come with mid-level talks underway in Doha, which Hebrew media has reported are not focused on the second phase of the hostage release and ceasefire deal, and after Netanyahu returned from a visit to Washington, DC in which US President Donald Trump presented a proposal that would see Palestinians encouraged to move out of the Gaza Strip.
Reports on Saturday indicated that the premier would not grant the Doha delegation a mandate to discuss the second phase of the deal until after he convenes his security cabinet.
