Israel’s construction industry is seeking to replace up to 100,000 Palestinian workers with Indian labourers.
The work permits of scores of Palestinian workers were cancelled in the wake of the Hamas attacks on 7 October and have led to a slowdown in Israel’s construction sector, which is now grappling with a severe labour shortage.
A Voice Of America (VOA) report from the West Bank said the Israeli construction industry has asked Tel Aviv’s authorities to allow companies to hire up to 100,000 Indian workers to replace the Palestinians.
India shares strong ties with Israel, even though it has historically called for a two-state solution to the conflict.
