Anti-government protesters rally outside home of union head, calling on him to declare strike

Protesters begin to gather outside the home of Arnon Bar-David, the head of the powerful Histadrut labor federation, calling for him to declare a general strike to demand elections.

Demonstrators hold signs saying “enough talking, it’s time for action.”

In May, Bar-David said he had lost trust in the government, but said that timing was key for any drastic action to force a national vote.
