The Union of Local authorities plans to combat national government plans to cut local government budgets, a move that will impact 255 local authorities, which includes 15 major cities.

According to a report appearing in the daily HaMevaser, the leaders of the local forums will be gathering in urgent kenos in Tel Aviv in the coming days to determine a plan of action to combat the governmental decree. Plans include local strikes and protests on a local and national level.

They explain that the planned cuts in education are simply intolerable.
