Eilat Ukraine reduces Jordanian security workers
The Israeli Eilat Municipality has decided to reduce reliance on Jordanian workers employed in the city, particularly in sectors such as hotels and others, citing security concerns over the potential exploitation of their entry to carry out attacks or criminal activities. The council unanimously approved a plan that includes establishing practical procedures and a timeline of 60 days to hire Israeli workers and expand options for foreign workers from other countries when needed, along with strengthening security oversight. The decision follows an incident six years ago when an individual attempted to attack workers with a hammer, and concerns grew over increasing voices criticizing Israel from Jordan, despite no evidence linking Jordanian workers to security threats. The aim of the decision is to protect the safety of residents and visitors, and the Israeli government has been informed to implement measures to reduce dependence on Jordanian labor.
