Tomorrow’s cabinet meeting on budget to be held at same secret location as Monday meeting

Tomorrow’s cabinet meeting on the state budget will be held in the same secret underground location in Jerusalem in which ministers met for Monday’s meeting, according to Hebrew media reports.

The reports cite a summons sent to ministers by the Cabinet Secretariat alongside the meeting’s agenda, which doesn’t explicitly mention the location.

The cabinet met Monday in an underground secure location in Jerusalem’s governmental complex and not at the Prime Minister’s Office due to security concerns, at the recommendation of the Shin Bet security agency.

The decision was made due to an increase in threats against senior Israeli officials and in light of the Hezbollah drone attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea earlier this month.

Government sources told news outlets that cabinet meetings are expected to be held in changing locations for the near future due to the same security concerns.
