The Secretary General of Israel's national workers union, the Histadrut, announced a general strike to protest against the Netanyahu government and called for an immediate hostage-release and ceasefire in Gaza deal. The strike will begin on Monday morning.

...

The workers union decision came several hours after the IDF announced it recovered the bodies of six hostages from Rafah in southern Gaza.

The Israeli National Forensic Institute examined the bodies and said in a statement that the hostages were murdered in the last 48 to 72 hours and were shot from close range.
Israeli officials said at least three of the hostages who were killed were supposed to be released in the first phase of the hostage-release and ceasefire deal that is currently being negotiated, if an agreement would have been reached.
The general strike will begin on Monday at 6:00 a.m. local time and Ben Gurion International Airport will shut down at 8:00 a.m. local time.
Many of the country's largest private sector companies announced they will join the strike.

Finally, the people will end the war and hopefully remove Netanyahu and the right wing assholes from power.

i hope you are right but I'm growing pessimistic about this and believe it is just another smoke screen

It's only for one day. Pretty sad.

More likely than the US ceasing or conditioning weapons sales.

The citizens should have done this on day one.

I hope they bring Israel to their knees and force Netanyahu to take the deal.

And then remove him.

Genocide committed by Israel is in full swing, so, like Joe Biden said (allegedly) to Netanyahu : stop your bullshit.
