Labor party Secretary General Eitan Cabel announced at a press conference at 4:45 p.m. that the Labor election committee decided to hold the rescheduled primaries on Thursday of this week, between the hours of noon and 11 p.m.

Tuesday afternoon the party was forced to cancel its primaries, which were underway at the time, due to a number of computer problems. The problem is thought to have been connections that handled too-narrow of a bandwidth to transmit the data stream in real time.
