The chief of Israel's largest labor union, the Histadrut Labor Federation, is planning a massive one-day strike on Monday to demand a cease-fire deal after hostages were found dead.
Israel's largest labor union is planning a massive strike for Monday to demand a cease-fire deal between the nation and Hamas after six Israeli hostages were found dead in a Hamas tunnel. 'We are getting body bags instead of a deal,' Histadrut Labor Federation chief Arnon Bar-David said Sunday to reporters, according to Reuters. 'We must reach a deal. A deal is more important than anything else,' he said.
Without the return of the hostages, we will not be able to end the war, we will not be able to rehabilitate ourselves as a society, and we will not be able to begin to rehabilitate the Israeli economy,' Israel’s Manufacturers’ Association leader Ron Tomer said in support of Bar-David's call for a strike.
Israeli municipalities such as Tel Aviv, Kfar Saba, and Givatayim agreed to join the strike on Monday, the New York Post reported. Hamas terrorists killed six hostages Saturday as Israel Defense Forces launched a rescue operation in the tunnels below Gaza's Rafah. Among the bodies recovered was Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who had been held by the Hamas terrorists since Oct. 7, when war first broke out between Hamas and Israel.
War has been raging in the Middle East since Oct. 7, when Hamas launched a series of attacks on Israel, sparking Israel to declare war soon afterward. An estimated 257 Israeli hostages were trapped in Gaza when the war first began, and 101 hostages are still in Gaza. Of the 101 remaining hostages, 66 are believed to be alive, four of whom are American citizens.
He who murders abductees - does not want a deal. We are in a difficult day. The heart of the entire nation was torn,' Netanyahu said. 'Along with all the citizens of Israel, I was shocked to the core by the terrible cold-blooded murder of six of our abductees.' Protesters on Sunday flooded the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and outside Netayhu's residence to demand a cease-fire, Reuters reported.
