Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Berlin has been shortened.
According to a schedule released by his office, Netanyahu will take off from Berlin to Israel at 7 p.m. Thursday evening, instead of Friday morning.
The time may well change, as the PMO seems eager to keep protesters, who have repeatedly tried to block his travel, in the dark about his schedule.
Hebrew media reports also ties the changes to the briefing he received earlier in the day regarding unspecified “security developments.”
The recent incidents are not detailed due to security concerns and ongoing investigations.
