Prime Minister Benjamin is considering convening a cabinet meeting tomorrow to vote on dismissing Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, Ynet reports.

According to the Hebrew language site, after last night’s cabinet meeting, ministers and Netanyahu aides discussed voting on Bar tomorrow, and using Sunday’s cabinet meeting to vote on Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara’s dismissal.

The office of a senior Likud minister tells The Times of Israel that no dates have been received regarding any upcoming cabinet meetings.
