Over 6,000 Indian workers are heading to Israel in April and May to fill a labor gap in construction after the Israel-Hamas conflict. Israeli government, including the Prime Minister's Office and finance and housing ministries, is subsidizing charter flights for their arrival. Due to the conflict, many Palestinian workers had their permits revoked. This influx marks the largest foreign worker group in Israel's construction sector in a short period. Prime Minister Netanyahu's meeting addressed concerns of stalled projects, rising living costs, and tensions between government and businesses.
