Indian workers are seeking jobs in Israel, despite the conflict

 

During a recent recruitment drive in India’s northern state of Haryana, thousands of men showed up in hopes of securing work in Israel. 

The ongoing conflict in Gaza has caused a significant shortage of labor, which has led to a surge in demand for workers in Israel. Many workers, including masons, painters, electricians, plumbers, and farmers, expressed their interest in finding job opportunities in Israel, despite the risks involved. 

Some of the workers who are willing to take the chance of entering a conflict zone are motivated by the significant pay increase offered by Israeli employers. These workers can earn up to five times more than they would at home in a year. This is a substantial sum of money for many workers, and it is understandable why they are willing to take on the risk of working in a conflict zone. 

The recruitment drive was an opportunity for these workers to find work in Israel and secure a better future for themselves and their families. It is a testament to their determination and willingness to take risks to improve their lives.
