Israel to Allow In More Palestinian Workers
(Times of Israel) Aaron Boxerman - The Israeli government on Sunday approved an additional 8,600 work permits for West Bank Palestinians in Israel, as well as 3,600 permits for the Atarot Industrial Zone, north of Jerusalem. Today, 130,000 Palestinians work in Israel and Israeli communities in the West Bank. In addition, a pilot project was approved for Israeli work permits for 500 Palestinian tech employees over three years. Some Palestinians are already employed in Israel at technology firms, but on a case-by-case basis.
