Milan, 4 Aug. (LaPresse) – Israel’s political-security cabinet is due to meet this evening to discuss the issue of the agreement in the Gaza Strip and the Board of Peace, against a backdrop of opposition from some ministers to the ‘roadmap’ published regarding the disarmament of Hamas. This is reported by Ynet. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Settlements Minister Orit Strock have in fact called for a new government vote on the Board of Peace plan, which would allow a multinational security force to enter Gaza. According to the Jerusalem Post, the far-right ministers claimed that the initial approval of the plan was based on “incomplete and misleading information” and urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to revoke the approval until a new vote is held.
