Number of Palestinian employees in Israel before and after Israel-Hamas war

On the eve of October 7, 2023, approximately 165,000 Palestinian workers from the West Bank and Gaza worked in Israel. Following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, the number of Palestinians permitted to work in Israeli towns was sharply reduced to just 15,000. Over recent decades, the Israeli and Palestinian economies have grown interdependent, particularly in the construction and agricultural sectors.

于2023年10月7日之夜，大约165,000名来自西岸和加沙地带的巴勒斯坦工人于以色列境内从事劳动。随同以色列与哈马斯战争之爆发，获准在以色列城镇工作的巴勒斯坦人数急剧缩减，仅余15,000。在过去的几十年间，以色列与巴勒斯坦的经济日益相互依存，尤其是在建筑与农业两大领域。
