Israel to allow Palestinian workers to return to Judea and Samaria communities starting tomorrow

Israel Hayom reports that starting tomorrow, Palestinian workers will again be permitted to enter communities in Judea and Samaria.

Israel Hayom reported Monday evening that the Israeli security establishment will permit Palestinian workers to return to Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria starting Tuesday. The background: As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, the IDF had barred Palestinian laborers from entering communities in Judea and Samaria, citing a series of terrorist attacks. The new directive permits their return, though the scope and conditions remain unspecified. The decision suggests a reassessment of the immediate security threat and a return to the pre-ban policy, which allowed Palestinian workers to enter industrial zones and construction sites within communities. The move is expected to affect thousands of workers and the Israeli communities that depend on their labor.
