Israel continues to struggle to fill the foreign worker shortfall created after the October 7 Massacre and the war in Gaza, according to reporting by Ynet.
Israel has appealed to no fewer than 55 countries to help send foreign workers to help fill the worker shortfall created by the war. Some countries such as Malawi and Sri Lanka have already sent a few hundred, with more on the way. Israel is also in talks with countries including Uganda and Mexico to bring in more.
Israel's efforts to get China to agree to send foreign workers have failed due to China's support for Russia in the Ukraine-Russia War, and Thailand is also delaying making a decision on the matter.
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said that "we will continue to operate via all channels, international and local, in order to fill the ranks and bring more working hands to the country for the flourishing of the economies of their countries and of Israel."
