Employers forbidden from hiring foreign laborers in evacuated areas, interior minister warns after Thai worker killed
Interior Minister Moshe Arbel warns that it is illegal to employ foreign workers in evacuated communities, after a Thai worker was killed and another was seriously injured by anti-tank missile fire in Kibbutz Yir’on.
He says that in light of the incident, he has instructed the Director General of the Population and Immigration Authority to clamp down on employers who have continued to hire foreign workers in evacuated areas.
“The duty to protect every individual’s life prevails over opening irrigation systems in evacuated agricultural areas,” he adds.
