Following the strike on two train lines, the Likud Party said,"[Histadrut Labor Federation Chairman Avi] Nissenkorn, the finance minister of Lapid and Gantz, is causing railway lines to be struck today and harming thousands of citizens for no reason."

"The dangerous economy of the Nissenkorn's Histadrut will hurt civilians and lead to a rise in prices. The railway strike is only the beginning - if Lapid and Gantz form a government, Nissenkorn will hurt competition, strike the state and paralyze the citizens."
