The head of Israel's powerful Histadrut trade union ordered a "complete strike" in support of Gaza hostages on Monday and urged a deal to secure their release after six more were announced dead.
"We must stop the abandonment of the hostages... I have come to the conclusion that only our intervention can shake those who need to be shaken," Histadrut chairman Arnon Bar-David said in a statement on Sunday.
"Starting tomorrow at six in the morning, the entire Israeli economy will go on complete strike."
