Thousands of Israelis have signed a petition calling for Histadrut chairman Arnon Bar-David to resign amid serious corruption allegations against him, according to the petition organizers. The move is the latest pressure campaign against Bar-David, who faces a criminal investigation but has so far refused to step down.
Thousands of Israelis have signed a petition demanding Histadrut labor federation chairman Arnon Bar-David resign, the petition's organizers said Sunday. The petition cites serious corruption allegations currently under criminal investigation, and follows months of pressure from local workers' committees and union branches that have increasingly distanced themselves from the umbrella organization. The petition organizers described the response as reflecting broad public anger, though Bar-David has so far refused to step aside. The petition is the latest in a series of protests and calls for his resignation since the criminal probe became public.
