BREAKING NEWS NATION-WIDE STRIKE AS ISRAELI PROTESTORS DEMAND HOSTAGE DEAL
September 2, 2024BREAKING NEWS!
Israel’s first nationwide general strike since 7 October is under way, amid widespread public anger at the government’s handling of the war in Gaza after the discovery of the bodies of six hostages at the weekend.
Israel’s largest trade union, Histadrut, ordered a nationwide general strike from 6am on Monday that is expected to bring large parts of the economy to a halt. Government and municipal offices were due to close, as well as schools and many private businesses. Israel’s international airport, Ben Gurion, was reported to have shut down at 8am local time (6am BST) for two hours.
The chair of Histadrut, Arnon Bar-David, said in a statement: “I have come to the conclusion that only our intervention can shake those who need to be shaken.”
“A deal is not progressing due to political considerations and this is unacceptable.”
