Israel’s Security and Political Cabinet, known as the “Kabinett,” convened an early meeting on Tuesday to discuss developments in Iran, moving up its usual Thursday session. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ministers attended, though no details of the discussions have been released.

The meeting follows heightened coverage in Israeli media of US President Donald Trump’s statements on Iran, which included threats of military action and comments on casualties and protest participation. The Israeli security establishment has reportedly cautioned political leaders against interfering in Iran’s domestic affairs, while maintaining readiness to respond to potential threats both offensively and defensively.

Media reports in Israel continue to frame Iran as a high-priority issue, suggesting that military conflict could be imminent and creating pressure on the United States to take action.
