The Knesset has rejected a bill proposed by opposition leader Benny Gantz to reform the security cabinet. Gantz, a former military chief, criticized the current cabinet for incompetence and frequent leaks, recounting personal experiences of information being shared outside closed meetings. He argued that the cabinet has become bloated and ineffective, with discussions often involving over 50 participants, undermining national security decision-making. Gantz's bill sought to reduce the cabinet's size and restrict membership to those with military or national service experience, but it failed to pass.
