The doctors union is planning a warning strike this week in opposition to the government’s judicial overhaul, Channel 12 reports.
The strike will see hospitals operating on an emergency footing for several hours, with only emergency cases being treated.
The threat comes after the Israel Medical Association warned last week that hospitals and doctors could strike in opposition to the bill.
The association held emergency discussions Thursday to discuss the ramifications of the law and members agreed that “it will devastate the healthcare system and is not just a theoretical concern,” said IMA chairman Prof. Zion Hagay.
