After a judicial proposal he floated was rejected by the ruling Likud party and protest leaders, Histadrut chief Arnon Bar-David calls for efforts to continue to reach a deal.
“The gaps aren’t big. It’s possible to do this for the people of Israel,” he says in a statement.
He adds that he is in touch with President Isaac Herzog, the Prime Minister’s Office, opposition leaders, and “all relevant figures.”
“I call on everyone to understand the gravity of the hour and remember we have no other country,” the labor leader says.
Bar-David does not mention the possibility of a general strike, which overhaul opponents have been urging him to declare.
