The mini-ministerial council for political and security affairs of the occupation ('the Cabinet') witnessed a sharp disagreement among its members on Thursday evening, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposed the formation of a ministerial team tasked with implementing the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza – excluding Minister of Intelligence Eli Cohen from that team.
Cohen rebelled and voted against the decision. According to information reported by Channel 12, Cohen's exclusion ignited his intense anger, as he interrupted Netanyahu during the session demanding that he be included in the team.
The disagreement did not stop there; Minister Cohen threatened to vote against the decision, which he indeed did at the end of the discussion, expressing his objection to the reduction of the 'Cabinet's' powers in favor of a 'narrow group.'
The head of the Shin Bet confirms that the implementation of the death penalty will enhance the level of deterrence.
