Israel’s main labour union calls strike as pressure mounts for hostage deal | World News

The head of Israel’s largest labor union called for a general strike to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to bring back Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, backed by major industry leaders. Protests erupted after the deaths of six hostages, with calls for a deal to return the remaining captives. The closure of Ben Gurion Airport and support from opposition leaders and families of the hostages added to the growing pressure on the government to act.
