bring forward Explanation: Meetings are brought forward (held earlier) or pushed back (held later). To save confusion (as evident in the link) you can say rescheduled. I don't think there is one word for both examples. and I like preempted because it conveys the meaning of the action in the sentence even better than the Hebrew word. BTW, I don't agree that preemtion is military, I confirmed my feeking by Googling the word, which brought up mostly legal references.
