Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called an urgent meeting of his war cabinet ministers for 10 a.m. on Sunday, January 18, 2026. The session is scheduled just before a full cabinet meeting, signaling a coordinated response to pressing geopolitical developments.
The immediate trigger for the meeting appears to be the recent announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump of a new "Board of Peace." The panel's executive committee is reportedly set to include senior officials from Turkey and Qatar—two nations that have been critical of Israel. Netanyahu's office has already publicly objected to the panel's composition.
"We will hold a discussion and see how we respond to this," an unnamed diplomatic source was quoted as saying.
Beyond the new U.S. initiative, the war cabinet is also expected to discuss Iran, specifically the potential for Trump to authorize military strikes against key Iranian regime targets in the near future.
