Security cabinet to meet on Ramadan unrest
Israel’s security cabinet will meet on Sunday to discuss rising tensions and fears of violence during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, Kan news reports.
The meeting will be the second in under two weeks, after the cabinet had not met for months.
Earlier, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett told reporters that security forces had foiled 15 attacks in recent weeks.
There have been near nightly riots in Jerusalem since the holiday began, which came after a week that saw a string of terror attacks that killed 11 people.
Yesterday, Defense Minister Benny Gantz accused Foreign Minister Yair Lapid of provoking unrest after he visited Damascus Gate, where riots took place.
