“The only good Tory is a dead Tory."
ISRAELI trade union federation the Histadrut looks set to bring Israel to a standstill on Monday as they take part in a general strike to demand a ceasefire and a return of the remaining hostages held by Hamas.
According to local media, Histadrut chairman Arnon Bar-David was set to hold a meeting with the families of hostages this afternoon at his organisation’s headquarters in Tel Aviv to agree the arrangements.
This would be the first general strike since the Hamas attack on October 7 and comes after the bodies of six hostages were recovered by Israeli forces from inside a tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip in the early hours of this morning.
