JERUSALEM: Israel's new Prime Minister Naftali Bennett opened his first Cabinet meeting on Sunday by slamming Iran's newly elected president and calling on world powers to 'wake up' to the perils of returning to a nuclear agreement with Tehran.

Later in the day, Bennett warned Gaza's militant Hamas rulers that Israel would not tolerate even minor attacks from the territory in the wake of last month's 11-day war, saying 'our patience is running out.' But Israel also said it would allow limited agricultural exports from Gaza for the first time since the war was halted by an informal ceasefire.
