"Indian Workers Defy Conflict, Seek Employment in Israel Amid Labor Shortage"

TL;DR Summary
Despite the ongoing war in Gaza, thousands of Indian workers are vying for construction jobs in Israel, as the country faces a labor crisis due to the suspension of Palestinian work licenses. Indian states like Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have advertised thousands of positions, offering salaries significantly higher than the average income in India. However, this move has drawn criticism from labor groups and opposition parties, who oppose sending workers to a country involved in the conflict. While some see it as a chance to escape poverty, others express concerns about the potential risks and ethical implications of working in Israel.
