Minister of Building and Construction Uri Ariel announced that the government will not be granting 5000 additional work permits, for work in Israel, that were supposed to be approved on Sunday for citizens of the Palestinian Unity Government.
Ariel said, “At a difficult time like this when we are busy with prayers for the return of our childre, that were kidnapped from those who came out of the Palestinian Authority’s territory, there’s no place for a decision for permission [for permits]. We’re all holding hands of our IDF soldiers and security forces and praying for good news, quickly.”
