The Histadrut labor union issues a statement giving full support to a compromise deal pushed for by President Isaac Herzog in the government’s contentious judicial shakeup plan.
After meeting Herzog in Jerusalem, Histadrut chief Arnon Bar-David says that he backs Herzog’s compromise efforts, but warns that if an agreement is not reached, he “will not sit idly by,” hinting at broader labor actions against the government.
Herzog has yet to reveal the details of the purported compromise agreement.
