Amid Gaza war, over 6,000 Indian workers to depart for Israel by May

A statement released by the Israeli government late Wednesday disclosed that these workers will be transported via an "air shuttle," after the government agreed to subsidise chartered flights for this purpose.

‘It was agreed approximately one week ago on the arrival of over 6,000 workers from India during April and May, on an "air shuttle" following the subsidizing of the charter flights,’ the statement said.

The workers from India are being transported to Israel under a government-to-government (G2G) agreement between the two nations, PTI reported.
