Israel opposition calls for general strike if govt proceeds with security chief ouster

On Saturday, Israel's opposition leader threatened to call for a nationwide general strike if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disregards the Supreme Court's ruling to halt the dismissal of the internal security chief.

Israel's opposition leader on Saturday called for a general strike if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to abide by the Supreme Court's decision freezing its dismissal of the internal security chief.

If the government "decides to disobey the Court's decision it will become a government outside of the law," Yair Lapid told thousands of demonstrators in Tel Aviv. "If that happens, the entire country should stop."
