Israeli Economy Minister Approves 5000 Foreign Worker Permits
The Israeli Ministry of Economy has approved a decision to bring in 5,000 foreign workers to assist in the trade and services sectors, aiming to reduce reliance on Palestinian workers from the West Bank, whose entry into Israel has been halted since the start of the war in October 2023. This decision is part of a strategic plan to replace Palestinian workers with foreign workers from countries that maintain relations with Israel, amidst a significant labor shortage and the war's impact on the labor market. The move is viewed as a security and economic policy measure to prevent the return of Palestinian workers to the Israeli market, provide "oxygen" to the industries, trade, and services sectors, and supply the labor market with 50,000 foreign workers who have been brought in since the onset of the war.
