Israel: Residents of Judea, Samaria fear return of Palestinian labourers December 23, 2023 at 11:12PM

Palestinian workers return after Hamas war, but Israeli security organizations and municipalities are divided on the issue. Karnei Shomron security department and the army previously allowed workers with permits. However, after the October 7 massacre, it was revealed that some workers provided information to Hamas terrorists. Israeli jobs make up 30% of the general income of the West Bank. The building industry is stalled due to the lack of both Palestinian and Israeli workers. The government is considering bringing in Indian workers, but the approval is limited.
