The Security Cabinet will convene at the Southern Command headquarters to discuss the ongoing war in Gaza, contacts for a hostage deal and the humanitarian aid issue. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the IDF to present a plan that would stop Hamas from taking control of food trucks, against the backdrop of the ultimatum set by Finance Minister and member of the Defense Ministry Bezalel Smotrich, who said he would resign from the government if humanitarian aid reaches the terrorist organization.
