Ministers have not received any update on when this week’s cabinet meeting will take place, according to the offices of two senior Likud ministers.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar on Sunday that he would convene the cabinet to vote on his removal. The meeting was initially reported to be set for Wednesday, but Netanyahu was later expected to move it to today, possibly because of mass demonstrations against Bar’s dismissal scheduled for tomorrow.
Channel 12 news reports that the plan to hold the cabinet meeting today has been canceled.
