The Histadrut says the labor federation’s chief Arnon Bar-David will hold an “emergency meeting” at 9:30 p.m, as he faces calls from opponents of the judicial overhaul to declare a general strike to stop the “reasonableness” bill from being passed.
The meeting will include other senior Histadrut officials and Dubi Amitai, who heads a group of representatives for the business sector. According to reports Friday, Bar-David and Amitai met with Netanyahu to try to find a compromise deal.
