With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recovering from surgery earlier this week, the security cabinet meeting scheduled for tomorrow night has been canceled, aides to two of the ministers in the forum tell The Times of Israel.
The cancellation comes as attempts to reach a hostage release deal with Hamas grind to a halt.
There are currently no Israeli teams in Doha or Cairo working on an agreement, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel, and there is currently no plan to send one.
