Israel’s job scheme for Indian construction workers, aimed at filling gaps left by Palestinian labor bans, is unraveling due to significant skill mismatches. Many workers, assessed as skilled in India, have struggled in Israel, performing unskilled tasks. Complaints from Israeli contractors have led to workers being reassigned to industrial roles or sent home. The Israeli government has issued a policy shift allowing workers to be employed in non-construction jobs. Officials admit the need for improved screening and training. With around 500 workers already returning, the scheme’s effectiveness and future remain uncertain.
