Deputy Prime Minister Silvan Shalom criticized Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at Sunday's cabinet meeting, saying that Netanyahu was not sharing with ministers the full extent of the progress made in negotiations with the PA. “None of the ministers know where we stand, and this is part of the problem,” Shalom said. “Things are progressing without our knowledge.

“Now that there is a second meeting with Mahmoud Abbas set up for later this month, we want to know when the cabinet is to meet to discuss the contents of that meeting,” Shalom added.
