Horowitz also stressed that it was "impossible" to work under such conditions, specifying that any leaks could harm Israeli security interests.

The newspaper added that during a Sunday meeting, Netanyahu and Israeli senior ministers discussed foreign policy issues related to Iran, Syria and Palestine. After the meeting, media reported leaked information from the internal debates.

The security cabinet meeting took place ahead of Netanyahu’s meeting with US President Donald Trump scheduled to take place on Wednesday at the White House.
