Judge Osnat Rubovitz at the Tel Aviv-Yafo Regional Labor Court hearing on the government's request for an injunction against school and kindergarten strikes proposed allowing a one-hour strike to continue negotiations. The parties took a recess to reach a decision. Earlier, the state representative said at the hearing that 'the strike is not legitimate.' Teachers Union Secretary General Yafa Ben David responded: 'There has been no dialogue and no communication. They made us offers that I'm embarrassed to talk about. We issued the strike notice early, we have no control over what's happening in the field. There is dismissiveness, complacency and bad faith here.'
