A little over 900 construction workers have arrived from India during the last few months through the B2B route, involving human resources agencies in both countries.
More than 6,000 Indian workers will arrive in Israel during April and May to help the country's construction sector meet a labour shortage following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
They will be will be brought to Israel on "air shuttle" following a joint decision by the Israeli Prime Minister's Office (PMO), finance ministry and the construction and housing ministry on subsidising charter flights, a statement issued by the Israeli government late Wednesday said.
The construction industry of Israel employs workers in specific fields where there is a lack of Israeli workers.
