Netanyahu announced the plan at the start of a cabinet meeting, his office said. The finance ministry later said the cabinet had approved it. Israeli attorney general Yehuda Weinstein has opposed the move because the two countries lack a formal agreement related to such cooperation. The lack of an agreement can lead to immigrant workers paying middlemen hundreds or even thousands of dollars to obtain permits. Chinese workers are currently brought into Israel under private contracts between Israeli and Chinese companies. The two countries have engaged in negotiations on working conditions, but have not yet reached an accord. A statement from the finance ministry said that due to the urgency of the matter, the workers would be brought without a bilateral agreement, while creating mechanisms to ensure their rights were protected and prevent them from paying middlemen for permits. Netanyahu said that it was important to move forward despite "side costs," with the cost of living a major issue in Israel. "In my view, this is a necessary and important step to lower housing prices," Netanyahu said. Israel's construction sector employs 216,000 workers, including 37,000 Palestinians and 6,000 foreigners, with some 3,700 Chinese. The finance ministry said the lack of skilled Israeli and Palestinian construction workers, as well as the instability in employing Palestinians -- whose permits can be revoked due to the security situation -- have created a shortage of workers. The Chinese's pace of work in building high-risers was 50 percent higher than that of Israelis, Palestinians and others, the finance ministry said. China told Israel in June it will not allow migrant builders to work on settlements in the occupied West Bank. Construction in settlements, where some 400,000 Israelis live, accounts for about three percent of the total. Poster Comment: Santa The top 10 BS things I've learned on these boards from the Zionists. 1- Israel is the only country allowed to "defend themselves" 2- If Israel attacks, its called PRE-emptive. If Arabs retaliate, it's called terrorism. 3- If you disagree with Israel's apartheid policies, you're an anti-Semite. 4- If you disagree with Israel's apartheid policies and you're Jewish, you're a self hating Jew. 5- Zionists despise the UN but only AFTER the UN gave them someone else's land. 6- It's OK for Israel to get weapons from other states but Iran can't give weapons to Israel's enemies. 7- Israel can have hundreds of nukes as a "deterrent" and still not sign the NPT but No other country in the ME can have nukes as a deterrent cause they will sign the NPT. 8- Jews were the only people to die in WW2. 9- Zionists blame Hamas for not wanting a 2 state solution but the LIKUD doctrine says the same thing. 10- Since the Zionists can't attack the message they ALWAYS attack the messenger.16-9 RickR... LOL !... Understand all this bitching about Israeli Zionist doesn't give me pleasure, but when I hear my US Presidential hopefuls ... spewing their loyalty to Israel... Knowing what Santa wrote on here, to be True ! Well... that makes me concerned about who's really in control of the USA presently. Then to read how they don't have to abide by the same rules, as other nations who have nuclear weapons... is Over the Top for any sane person to accept. I've had many Jewish personal friends, and they too are becoming concerned. Fact is... it's more in their interest to do something about this, because if things continue as such... It will be as before, for anyone who's a Jew ! 4-1 johnk... Time for the Russians to exact their revenge against the Jewish Bolsheviks. Holodomor also known as Murder by starvation was an engineered famine that was operated in the Ukraine and parts of Russia during the years 1921-23,1932-33 and 1946-47. The planned deliberate genocide was concealed under Jewish Bolshevism's food 'requisition' (seizures) programs. From the early 1920s onwards, many people were starving to death due to Bolshevik issues not to import any food into the Ukraine. People caught stealing even the smallest amount of food were executed. People who squatted on land seized by Jewish Bolsheviks were treated as "treasonists". The death toll of ethnic Europeans in the Holodomor genocides was 16.5 million. 6-4 Edward... There's a reason why the Israelis hired Chinese workers instead of Americans : 1. The Chinese will work, while the lazy Americans will spend half their time talking about junk and taking coffee breaks. 2. The Chinese will work, while the greedy Americans will gather and unionize to demand more money. 3. The Chinese will work, while the Americans will brag how much better their work quality is compared to everyone else while taking their multiple breaks. 4. The Chinese will work, while some of the Americans will try to embezzle funds from the company or fake an injury to get disability so they can sue.13-22 Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
