Indian workers exit Israel as Palestinian return starts
The legal advisor of the Arab Workers' Union in Nazareth has indicated that Israel is facing a real crisis in the labor market following the decision to halt permits for Palestinian workers. Attempts to replace them with foreign labor have failed. While Israel seeks to bring in around 50,000 foreign workers for infrastructure projects, it has become clear that workers from India and Thailand are less efficient, and many have left their work sites, resulting in financial losses and challenges in filling the gap left by Palestinian workers. Experts confirm that Palestinian workers possess accumulated professional skills that are difficult to replace quickly, and economic needs are gradually compelling their return to the labor market despite political and security complexities. At the same time, key sectors continue to rely heavily on Palestinian workers due to the expertise and skills they require, with Israel continuing to bring in foreign workers—an approach that has not been successful in fully replacing them.
