Netanyahu Calls Emergency Security Cabinet Meeting Over Iran
(MENAFN) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called an emergency Security Cabinet session for Monday evening to deliberate over the rapidly shifting situation with Iran, according to Israeli media.
The session was convened "against the backdrop of the possibility of renewed fighting or reaching an agreement" between Washington and Tehran, the outlet reported, noting the Cabinet had already held a similar meeting the previous Sunday evening — signaling the mounting urgency gripping Israel's top brass.
The back-to-back consultations come amid a volatile regional landscape that has been in flux since February, when the US and Israel launched coordinated strikes against Iran. Tehran responded forcefully, striking Israel and targeting US allies across the Gulf, while simultaneously shuttering the Strait of Hormuz — a chokepoint through which a significant share of the world's oil supply flows.
A ceasefire brokered through Pakistani mediation took hold on April 8, yet subsequent negotiations in Islamabad failed to yield a durable settlement. US President Donald Trump subsequently extended the truce indefinitely, leaving the region suspended in an uneasy standoff as diplomacy and the threat of renewed hostilities continue to vie for dominance.
