Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has introduced new sanctions targeting ministers who arrive late or miss cabinet meetings without prior approval. Under the measures announced by cabinet secretary Yossi Fuchs, ministers who are late or absent will be barred from presenting proposals at subsequent meetings and may lose funding for work-related travel if they miss two meetings. The move comes after repeated frustrations over poor attendance, with fewer than twenty ministers attending the latest session and only nine present at the start. Netanyahu has threatened to make attendance records public to encourage better participation.
