Jerusalem, 12 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Security Cabinet will convene on Sunday, following a hiatus of more than a month, Israeli media reported Thursday. The cabinet last convened on October 5.
Israeli media reported Wednesday that the Security Cabinet had instructed the IDF to step up preparations for a possible attack on Iran, despite not having convened for over a month.
The decision to convene followed Yashar chairman Gadi Eisenkot’s letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning him to refrain from unnecessary military action until the next government is formed.
Netanyahu responded, “It is irresponsible to discuss sensitive security matters publicly. All decisions made by the government were based solely on security considerations and in full coordination with the security establishment.”
Eisenkot shot back: “If so, why did you refuse my request for an operational briefing?”
“I will not allow a vacuum in oversight of a government that has lost the confidence of the Knesset,” he added.
