Histadrut has historically been crucial in shaping Israel's political landscape. It orchestrated strikes forcing Prime Minister Netanyahu to retract a contentious judicial reform plan amidst public upheaval.
Founded in 1920, Histadrut's role expanded from serving workers during Jewish immigration in British-administered Palestine to establishing essential institutions for the nascent State of Israel.
Arnon Bar-David, as chairman, has led the union in significant movements against Netanyahu's far-right government, showcasing the organization’s persistent influence in Israeli politics.
Histadrut's recent general strike reflects its enduring power and relevance, impacting Israel’s socio-political environment significantly, especially during times of national crisis.
