Histadrut Labor Federation chief Arnon Bar-David announces a general strike set for tomorrow over the failure to release hostages held in Gaza, stating that “a deal is more important than anything else.”
The action will start at 6 a.m. and is currently planned as a one-day strike, with Bar-David saying decisions beyond Monday will be made later.
“Jews are being murdered in the tunnels of Gaza. It is impossible to grasp and has to stop,” he declares at a press conference following a meeting with the Hostages and Missing Families Forum in Tel Aviv.
After speaking with various security officials, the labor leader says he believes the deal is stuck “because of political considerations” and argues that due to political polarization “we are no longer one people; we are camp against camp” and “we need to bring back the State of Israel.
