Lesson Brief
France24
On September 20, France 24 reported on Israel's plan to import 20,000 Chinese workers to accelerate high-rise and residential construction projects in Israel. Israel has been in talks with China for several years to create a bilateral agreement that would allow the country to bring in more works. The plan, which was approved by the Israeli government, would reduce labor costs and address the shortage of skilled laborers, since political and security conditions have drastically reduced the Palestinian labor force in Israel.
