The Israeli construction industry plans to hire Indian workers to replace Palestinian employees. Due to the loss of work permits for 90,000 Palestinians, the construction sector in Israel has asked the government for permission to employ up to 100,000 workers from India.
'Right now, we are negotiating with India. We are waiting for the decision of the Israeli government to approve that.
