Israel's war with Hamas disrupts Palestinian workers and Israeli employers alike

An unfinished apartment construction site in Ramat Gan, Israel, on Nov. 2, 2023. Work has stopped because Israel has suspended work permits for Palestinians from the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli construction industry has long relied on the labor of tens of thousands of Palestinians. But Israel has revoked their permits, paralyzing job sites and upending the West Bank's economy.
