The security cabinet will convene on Sunday to discuss the United Nations proposal to deescalate tensions in the Gaza Strip.

According to reports, the ministers will meet in an underground bunker in the Jerusalem area for an update on the progress made by UN Middle East envoy Nickolay Mladenov.

Mladenov is reportedly pushing a ceasefire proposal in cooperation with Egypt and other Arab states that would see Israel remove recent border restrictions and all sides agree to a ceasefire that would include the cessation of the cross-border arson attacks from Gaza into Israel.
