Amid disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict with Hamas, Israel's construction industry has requested the government's approval to hire up to 100,000 Indian workers, replacing the 90,000 Palestinians whose work permits were revoked since the October 7 attack. The Israeli Builders Association is in negotiations with India, awaiting the Israeli government's decision. This move follows a May agreement allowing 42,000 Indians to work in Israel, addressing the labor shortage in construction and nursing sectors. The preference for foreign workers stems from their reliability amid frequent disruptions in Palestinian labor due to regional conflicts.
