The first batch of 64 Indian construction workers, categorized as blue-collar workers, has been sent to Israel under a government-to-government (G2G) agreement, amidst ongoing conflict in the region. Israeli ambassador Naor Gilon and Indian government officials flagged off the workers on April 2. Over 60 workers arrived in Israel on Tuesday evening, with plans to send close to 850 workers by mid-April. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, emphasized the importance of the safety of these workers, stating that the Indian government has urged Israeli authorities to ensure their well-being. This move comes as the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza nears its sixth month, highlighting the demand for labor in the conflict-affected areas.
