Dhanprasad Pandit, the Nepali ambassador to Israel, said that when the process of taking selected caregivers to long-term care centers in Israel will resume, more opportunities will be created for Nepalis in Israel.

Israel has given first priority to Nepalis in the caregiver sector. Employers have been impressed by the work of caregivers working here,' he told Ikantipur, 'More opportunities will open up for Nepalis in Israel after caregivers start coming to this area.' . According to this agreement, 2112 people have been selected through lucky draw out of 3 thousand 100 people who reached the criteria in the second stage. Health examination is being done to send 1000 of them.

The process of sending auxiliary workers was advanced by the Foreign Employment Department from last June. However, the recruitment process of the selected workers was stopped by Nepal because of increased security risk. Although Israel is at war, thousands of Nepali workers working here feel safe. Countries like India, Sri Lanka, and Thailand are sending workers,' he said, 'It is not appropriate for Nepal to hold back more.' Israel has set aside a quota of 100,000 foreign workers this year. "First, we had to bring in workers who had been selected in the caregiver sector. This will bring more opportunities in other areas," he said.

Now Israel is planning to bring workers in the construction, agriculture, and hotel sectors. Out of which, the process of bringing 15,000 workers from India has been advanced. Until October 7 of last year, 100,000 workers were coming to work in Israel every day from the Gaza Strip. Since the start of the war with the Palestinian militant group Hamas, workers from the Gaza Strip have been banned from working. As a result, there is a shortage of workers in Israel.
