Israeli Paper Warns of Thousands of Jordanian Workers in Eilat
The Israeli newspaper "Israel Today" addressed security concerns regarding the presence of thousands of Jordanian workers who work daily in Eilat, with their number exceeding 2,500 workers. It highlighted that this situation constitutes a "ticking time bomb" from a security perspective, urging for increased surveillance and ongoing monitoring even after security permits are issued, due to the possibility of one of the workers carrying out attacks. The report noted that the workers cross the border in the morning and return in the evening, but there are still fears about monitoring their activities during work, especially with the growing number of workers and the maximum allowed number set by the Israeli government in 2023. In 2014, Israel launched a framework to employ 1,500 Jordanian workers, which was then increased to 2,500 workers in July 2023, allowing them to work in fields such as hotels, construction, and industry.
