Chairman of the Histadrut Arnon Bar-David: "Netanyahu where are you taking the State of Israel?

Posted on Jul 11, 2023 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

"I call on the Prime Minister: the ball is in your hand. Where are you taking the State of Israel? What legacy will you leave behind? Stop the crazy chaos that exists in Israeli society as soon as possible." This is what the chairman of the Histadrut, Arnon Bar-David, said before at a conference of heads of committees in the Tel Aviv-Yafo area, in an address to the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, in the shadow of the protest.
"Don't let extremists from all sides take over our lives," continued the chairman of the Histadrut. "My red line, which we crossed last March, is the committee for selecting judges. And we succeeded in that. I check the situation with my team every day. When will the Histadrut exercise its power? When I decide that it is necessary to decide. If someone thinks that every Monday and Thursday I will shut down the economy because someone votes in the first reading in the Knesset - they don't know what the Histadrut is. Shutting down an economy is not child's play. You close an airport at a time like this, when people saved shekel for shekel to go to Greece."
The chairman of the Histadrut also noted that this is a complex period in the history of the people of Israel: "In the four and a half years that I have been in office, there has not been a single day of silence. The corona is over, there is a war, a military operation, five elections, the cost of living, and now the legal revolution - which should not have come to this situation. And we the workers, are in the middle. They fight in the Knesset, blow up conversations at the President's residence, and whoever stands in the middle is with Israel and us, the Histadrut."
"I don't work for anyone - neither in the opposition nor in the coalition. When I feel that all ends have been exhausted and the situation will reach an extreme - we will intervene and use our power. There is no chance that workers in the State of Israel will be harmed in the current Knesset."
