The Cabinet Plans to Increase the Number of Palestinian Workers in Israel to Curtail Terror Attacks


walThe cabinet is planning to increase the number of permits it issues for PA (Palestinian Authority) workers to 70,000 in addition to relaxing inspections at crossing points in the hope of improving their economic conditions while reducing the number of terror attacks. This is likely to occur in the coming weeks. At present, about 55,000 PA workers cross into Green Line Israel to work and there are an estimated 30,000 illegal PA workers inside the Green Line as well. Most of the legal PA workers are employed in construction and agriculture.

The plan was announced on Sunday 6 Adar I by Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon, who explained he will present it to the cabinet on Sunday 12 Adar I and he hopes the vote will take place a week later, on 19 Adar I. The plan is premised on police data that most of the terrorists who struck out in recent months were PA residents entering Green Line Israel illegally, without permits.

Kahlon and other believe that by providing employment, it will be an incentive to curtail terror attacks.

  1. Are they nuts? Economics has nothing to do with anything. There have been many attacks by Arabs working with permits. Adding more is looking for more problems. They need to reduce the permits each time any incident occurs, until it stops.

  2. STUPID & MORE STUPID!!!

    Peres tried to convince the Israelis that economics, better living conditions, higher education & excellent medical care is the void in Arabs life and with improvement – a PEACE PARTNER will emerge. Seems like Kahlon & Gafne are buying into the same theory.

    STUPID, DUMB & idiotic!

  3. This is what happens when someone does not keep the Torah, their logic becomes so faulty, it makes one scream what happened to these so called intelligent people????

    This is what Hashem wrote in Mitzrayim “Asher Hisallalty” people will look back at the stupidity from these people and say, Hashem played with them, they did the most irrational things!!!

  4. Wow! I’m truly dumbfounded by what I just read!! Bring more palistinians into Israel??? And make em legal too?? Y2r is right. It’s דעת בעל הבית להיפך מדעת תורה I just didn’t think they can be that dumb!

  5. “Economics has nothing to do with anything.”

    Right wingers in America have been screaming for decades that EVERYTHING is about economics!
