Israel has announced plans to approve 15,000 additional work permits for PA (Palestinian Authority) residents seeking employment in Israel. These permits would permit them to be employed in a number of areas including agriculture.

Among those cabinet ministers speaking out in support of the plan was Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennet, who emphasized the need to assist in supporting the PA economy for “If Palestinians are working that will not carry out terror attacks” he exclaimed.
