Smotrich Seeks Court Block on Monday's Histadrut Strike
Sep 1, 2024, 07:33 PM
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has requested the Attorney General to urgently petition the courts to block a planned general strike scheduled for Monday. The strike, organized by the national labor union Histadrut and families of prisoners in Gaza, aims to pressure the government into accepting a ceasefire and facilitating a prisoner exchange deal. Smotrich has criticized the strike as lacking legal basis and accused it of attempting to improperly influence significant policy decisions related to state security. The strike is seen as politically motivated and potentially harmful to Israel's ongoing security efforts.
