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.

While some see it as a chance to escape poverty, others express concerns about the potential risks and ethical implications of working in Israel.
