The political-security cabinet meeting scheduled for tonight has been canceled, according to a report. The reason for the cancellation has not been disclosed.
The political-security cabinet meeting scheduled for tonight (Tuesday) has been canceled and postponed to Thursday, according to Israeli media reports. The cancellation came after initial reports that the meeting would discuss the Gaza agreement. The reason for the cancellation remains unclear, with conflicting reports emerging.
At 09:52 Jerusalem Tuesday, several Israeli news outlets reported that Prime Minister Netanyahu had called the security cabinet for tonight, with ynet specifying the agenda was the Gaza agreement. Minutes later, reports indicated the meeting had been canceled, with some reports citing ministers' complaints about primary election events scheduled for the evening. Subsequently, ministers denied requesting the cancellation due to the Likud primaries, and reports stated the discussion had been postponed to Thursday, according to Amit Segal (N12).
The cancellation comes amid a period of political scheduling tensions. As The Zioneer reported on July 5, the political-security cabinet had previously been postponed, and a limited security discussion was convened instead.
What remains open: the exact reason for the cancellation and rescheduling is not officially confirmed, as conflicting reports attribute it to either ministerial scheduling conflicts or other considerations. The specific agenda for the postponed Thursday meeting has not been disclosed.
