Indian workers line up for Israel jobs : NPR

Indian men are lining up at a registration office in a technical college in the northern Indian city of Lucknow, hoping to sign up to work in Israel. This highlights the impact of the conflict between Israel and Hamas on life around the world. The conflict disrupted the work permits of Palestinian laborers, prompting Israel to seek alternatives, with India emerging as a potential source of skilled labor. Despite concerns about safety and the conflict, many Indian men are eager for the opportunities and better compensation that jobs in Israel offer. However, this decision has also faced criticism from trade unions and opposition groups in India, with concerns about the ethics of the recruitment drive in relation to the ongoing conflict in the region. Nonetheless, it underscores the growing relationship between India and Israel and the potential for future collaboration.
