There are huge employment opportunities in Israel that are attracting Indians. Where more than one lakh people used to work, now there are only 30 thousand people. Due to this, there is a severe shortage of workers there.

Israel Internet Desk: After the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, Palestinian workers were completely stopped from coming. This has led to a shortage of thousands of workers. Now Israel has chosen other options to replace them. Now, along with local workers, Indians and Chinese are seen in large numbers. Workers from other countries are not afraid to work in Israel. Recently, Raju Nishad, a 35-year-old employee from India, said that there is nothing to fear here. He revealed that if there are any airstrikes, they will go to safe places and resume work after they are over. He revealed that the income there is three times higher than in his home country. He said that he is saving money for the future.
New opportunities in the construction sector..
In the past year, 16,000 workers from India have come here. Israel is planning to bring more. Indians have been coming to Israel for work for decades. Thousands of caregivers are already taking care of elderly Israelis. There are also diamond traders and IT workers. But after the Gaza war, Israel has also been calling in construction workers.
Sameer Khosla, the head of Delhi-based Dynamic Staffing Services, went to Israel a month later in October. He said he did not know much about the market there. He said that due to the ties with India, our people will be given more priority. They have set a target of sending about 10,000 people there.
On the other hand, experts there believe that Indians have not yet arrived at the level of Palestinian workers before the war. Before the Hamas attack, 80,000 Palestinians worked in the construction sector every day. In addition to them, there were another 26,000 foreign workers. Currently, only 30,000 foreigners work there.
