Israel approves additional quota of 14,300 foreign workers

TEL AVIV: Israel's Committee of Directors General on Foreign Workers, chaired by Yossi Shelley, Director-General of the Prime Minister's Office, has authorised an extra quota of up to 14,300 foreign workers. This decision aims to address the labour shortage resulting from the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza.

This new quota supplements the previous increase, which brought the total quota of foreign workers to 98,400. The 14,300 additional workers will be allocated to various fields.

The quota includes 2,750 foreign workers for nursing institutions under the supervision of the Health Ministry; 1,550 for nursing institutions under the supervision of the Welfare and Social Affairs Ministry; 5,000 for the transportation infrastructure sub-sector; and 5,000 for the renovation contractor sub-sector.
