New Delhi- As part of the bilateral Framework Agreement signed between India and Israel in November 2023, a total of 6,694 Indian workers have reached Israel for employment as of March 10, 2025.
Responding to a question in the Lok Sabha on Friday, Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh said the recruitment process has been overseen by Israeli authorities, with workers assigned to 195 companies across the country.
According to official data, 2,348 of these workers have been deployed in building framework roles, 1,955 in iron bending, 1,600 in plastering, and 791 in ceramic tiling.
“The Indian Embassy in Israel has been actively monitoring the welfare of the workers through regular consular visits,” the Ministry said, adding that a 24-hour helpline has also been established to offer assistance.
Some workers reported grievances regarding discrepancies between promised and actual job placements. These concerns were raised with the relevant Israeli authorities and have since been resolved, according to the Embassy.
