Israel’s security cabinet will convene at 6 p.m. Thursday in Jerusalem, Benjamin Netanyahu announced, according to the Times of Israel, to discuss developments following the resumption of Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu is expected to meet – possibly tomorrow – with all government ministers ahead of a security council meeting – to put the removal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Barr for a vote.
Meanwhile, Egypt and Qatar are working together to push for a new ceasefire in Gaza, the Washington Post reports, citing a former Egyptian official briefed on the plan.
“Egypt and Qatar plan to have a quick liaison with Israel’s side for an urgent cease-fire and begin to organize quick meetings in Cairo to enter the next phase and exchange hostages and prisoners to achieve peace,” the official said.
