Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, outlined his policy proposals for Judea and Samaria at an election event in Modi'in. Among his plans is the re-entry of 60,000 to 70,000 Palestinian workers from Judea and Samaria into Israel for employment. This initiative comes amid the ongoing repercussions of the October 7th terror attack, and Eisenkot's proposal raises significant security concerns regarding the risks associated with expanding the entry of workers.
