The strike and work slow-downs orchestrated by Magen David Adom employees

representatives came to an end yesterday, as a mutually acceptable agreement

with government officials has been reached. MDA stations nationwide,

including 50 MICU ambulances, returned to normal operating status

immediately at the conclusion of the agreement. MDA officials called for the

strike when government agencies defaulted on financial commitments of up to

70 million shekels to the organization.
