Report: Smotrich, Levin boycotted security cabinet vote in protest of ‘last-minute update’ from defense establishment

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Justice Minister Yariv Levin did not participate in the security cabinet vote earlier today, where it approved the plans for Israel’s retaliatory strike in Yemen, Channel 12 reports.

According to the report, the two boycotted the vote in protest of what they said was the “last-minute update” it received from the defense establishment regarding the strike, which they said has turned the security cabinet into a “rubber-stamp.”
