Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced today to the cabinet members that sanctions will be imposed on ministers who are absent from the cabinet meetings without permission. According to Netanyahu, a minister who is absent from the cabinet meeting more than once without permission will not be able to fly abroad for a quarter. Netanyahu turned to the ministers and told them: "If I can come, you can too. It is unacceptable to me that ministers are absent from government meetings. If a minister cannot come to a government meeting, he should inform the cabinet secretary."
