Flights from Israeli’s Ben-Gurion International Airport close to Tel Aviv got here to a halt Monday after an umbrella group of commerce unions Histadrut referred to as for a common strike amid huge protests towards judicial reforms.
“I have ordered an immediate halt to takeoffs at the airport,” stated the top of the employees’ union at Ben Gurion Airport, Pinchas Idan.
Tens of hundreds of vacationers are anticipated to be affected by the modified flight schedule.
Histadrut earlier referred to as for a “historic” labor strike to cease “the madness” of the federal government’s controversial judicial reform.
The strike will start if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t announce a halt to the reform plans, the union group stated.
Meanwhile, Israeli media is reporting that Netanyahu plans to touch upon the controversial judicial reforms later this morning, although the timing stays unclear.
He might freeze the reforms which have triggered huge avenue demonstrations however this might additionally result in in depth protests inside his right-wing spiritual coalition.
