The security cabinet will meet tonight at 6:30 p.m. in Tel Aviv, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
The meeting will take place after Netanyahu’s meeting with US special envoy Amos Hochstein on attempts to stop attacks from Hezbollah in Lebanon. It also comes among reports that Netanyahu is close to replacing Defense Minister Yoav Gallant with opposition New Hope leader Gideon Sa’ar.
A separate discussion of the Temple Mount and the situation in the West Bank is expected “in the coming days,” an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
