Histadrut Calls General Strike in Israel
News summary

Israel's largest labor union, the Histadrut, has announced a general strike starting Monday morning to demand a ceasefire and the return of hostages held by Hamas, following the tragic recovery of six hostages' bodies from a tunnel in Gaza. Histadrut's chief, Arnon Bar-David, emphasized that the situation is intolerable, stating, 'We are getting body bags instead of a deal.' The strike will affect various sectors, including transport and education, with major support from other unions and municipalities, highlighting widespread public frustration with the government's handling of the hostage situation. Protests have erupted across the country, particularly in Tel Aviv, with hundreds of thousands participating to pressure the government for action. The Israeli government faces criticism over its apparent inaction, with calls for immediate negotiations for the remaining 101 hostages still held captive. The planned strike marks a significant moment in Israeli labor activism amid ongoing conflict, as the nation grapples with the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
