Israel's largest union calls for general strike on Monday in support of Gaza hostages

The head of Israel's largest trade union called for a general strike in support of Gaza hostages on Monday after six more were announced dead. The head of the Histadrut union, Arnon Bar-David, said in a statement on Sunday that "political considerations" were hindering a deal to free the remaining hostages held by Hamas, adding that "the entire Israeli economy" would be halted by a strike, including the country's main airport.
