Karnataka people migrating to Israel..!? Why..?
It has been reported that the number of people from the state of karnataka going to israel in search of work has increased significantly in 2024. The main reason for this sudden change is that after the Israel-Hamas conflict in 2023, the Israeli government directly intervened and made efforts to employ people from india in various jobs. The Israeli government approached india to recruit skilled workers in the construction and healthcare sectors. Now the activities for the 2nd round of job selection have begun. Due to the high demand for indians in israel, the number of applications for obtaining a police Clearance Certificate known as PCC, one of the mandatory documents for going abroad for employment, has increased, which has confirmed that the number of people from the state of karnataka going to israel in search of work has increased. Bangalore Regional Passport Officer (RPO) krishna K said that so far this year, about 2,200 police clearance certificates have been issued to karnataka residents who want to work in Israel.
In 2023, only 1,576 police clearance certificates were issued, but now there has been an increase. After the Israel-Hamas conflict escalated last year, Palestinians living in israel were evicted. This led to a shortage of workers to do many jobs. Following this, the demand for PCCs has increased as israel plans to recruit workers from India. Although england is a popular destination for workers from karnataka, the number of PCCs issued to people who want to go to england has decreased this year, which is a matter of concern.
