The Security Cabinet meeting scheduled for tonight (Tuesday) to discuss the Gaza agreement was canceled, according to Eli Zilberberg (N12). Ministers reportedly complained that the meeting conflicted with scheduled primary election events.
The Security Cabinet meeting scheduled for tonight to discuss a potential Gaza agreement was canceled and has been postponed to Thursday, after a rapid series of conflicting reports this morning. Initially, ministers cited primary election events as the reason for the cancellation, but later reports indicated that ministers were denying any link to the primaries, and the discussion was rescheduled.
At 09:52 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported that the Security Cabinet had been summoned by Prime Minister Netanyahu to convene tonight. Within minutes, reports indicated the meeting was canceled with no reason given. Eli Zilberberg (N12) then reported that ministers had complained that the meeting conflicted with scheduled primary election events. Shortly after, Amit Segal (N12) reported that ministers were denying for now that they requested the cancellation due to the primaries, and that the cabinet discussion had been postponed to Thursday.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the cabinet was originally scheduled to convene at the prime minister's summons to discuss an emerging agreement regarding the Gaza Strip. The cancellation and subsequent postponement mark a significant political development, as the cabinet discussion was expected to address a potential deal.
It remains unclear whether the ministers' denial of the primaries link is accurate, and whether the cabinet will indeed convene on Thursday as currently scheduled.
