Security cabinet meeting said cut short as PM rushes to immunity consultations
A security cabinet meeting on efforts to reach a ceasefire deal with the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group was cut short as Prime Minister Netanyahu rushed to hold consultations on requesting parliamentary immunity, the Ynet news site reports.
The meeting was also set to deal with the International Criminal Court’s readying of a probe into alleged war crimes in the Palestinian territories, but the website says the matter wasn’t discussed.
