JERUSALEM — A strike by Israel’s largest labor federation ended after five days.

The strike launched Feb. 8 by the Histadrut, Israel’s main labor union, closed down the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, stopped trains across the country and caused major delays at Ben Gurion Airport. The crippling strike also affected hospitals, government offices and banks. The strike was undertaken in support of providing contract workers with benefits.

Under an agreement reached Sunday between the Histadrut and Israel’s Finance Ministry, contract worker will receive a minimum monthly wage and other benefits.
