‘Security consultations’ held throughout day at Defense Ministry
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been holding “security consultations” with senior ministers and military officials throughout the day at the Defense Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv, the Prime Minister’s Office says.
Meanwhile, Sunday’s routine cabinet session has been cancelled. Since both the full cabinet of all government ministers and the eight-member security cabinet convened Friday, no additional meeting is necessary, officials in Jerusalem say.
