A frantic energy usually defines the corridors of power in Jerusalem, yet a heavy silence now hangs over the Prime Minister's chair. For the fourteenth consecutive time, Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly failed to appear at a scheduled security cabinet meeting, leaving an empty seat that has become a symbol of mounting unease at home and abroad.
While official channels insist that the government continues to function normally, and maintain that Netanyahu is alive amid rumours claiming otherwise, his alleged prolonged absence has reignited questions over his wellbeing. International Business Times could not independently verify the claim that Netanyahu has been continuously missing cabinet meetings, so one should take the report with a grain of salt.
