After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he was moving the cabinet meeting to vote on dismissing Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar to Tuesday instead of Wednesday, protest organizers say they too have rearranged their plans.

Instead of the day-long protests in Jerusalem on Wednesday that were initially planned, demonstrators will set out on a march from the Harel junction outside of Jerusalem at 1 p.m. tomorrow.

Protesters will reach the Prime Minister’s Office at 6:30 p.m. and will remain there overnight and throughout the day on Wednesday.

A large demonstration will also be held at Habimah Square in Tel Aviv at 19:30 tomorrow, with the participation of former Shin Bet chief Yoram Cohen, former deputy chief of the Shin Bet Roni Alsheich, and former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo.
