Benjamin Netanyahu, who is embroiled in a great war against Hamas, has got into trouble in his own country.
The general public was already protesting for the release of the hostages. Meanwhile, the country’s largest trade union declared a strike against the Israeli government after the bodies of six hostages were found in Gaza.
This organization Histadrut represents about 8 lakh employees of the country. It includes many sectors like health, transport and banking.
This will be the first time in the 11-month war that such a large number of people have come out on the streets against Netanyahu.
The strike by Histadrut, Israel’s largest trade union, from Monday is aimed at increasing pressure for a ceasefire so that the truce in Gaza would ensure the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas terrorists and all of them could return home safely.
Histadrut said that the bodies of hostages found in Gaza tunnels on Saturday show that if the Israeli government does not agree to a ceasefire now, it will be too late and our people will continue to die like this.
Let us tell you that this will be the first such big strike since the Israel-Hamas war started on October 7.
Last year too, employees had gone on a massive general strike, after which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had to postpone his controversial plan of judicial reforms.
