No one in the State of Israel could have predicted the seventh of October.
The terrible disaster that befell every citizen on Saturday morning left many hurt and stunned.
After that, uncertainty began to hover over a variety of different fields, among which was the construction industry.
According to many data, this is one of the most severely affected industries. The Central Bureau of Statistics published data from a survey conducted in which over 70% of the companies involved in the field reported a serious injury to their income.
Another alarming statistic was that more than 50% of the companies that participated in the survey claimed that they were on the verge of closing down due to the security situation. (According to a survey conducted between October 24-26 and the third week of the war)
Construction sites of many projects were completely shut down, as a result of a severe shortage of workers who engaged in a variety of roles from the simplest laborer to the foremen in the field.
According to variable data, which are also difficult to estimate accurately, about 100,000 workers work in Israel – the vast majority of them Palestinians from Yosh, Gaza and foreign workers from various countries in Asia.
We can also add to this the illegal immigrants who infiltrate Israel and even work in many sites without proper authorization and they are not included in the exact count of the number of workers in the country at any given moment.
Following the war and due to the security restrictions, there is a ban on bringing Palestinian laborers into Israel’s borders, which has caused the workforce to be reduced by approximately 80% and both large and small projects find themselves without workers, with no possibility to make even the slightest progress in the construction stages.
This not only delays the times significantly, but it also directly affects the work inputs.
Contractors are forced to pay a lot of money for a day’s work for the workers in the field, which makes the construction process significantly more expensive, add also the fact that it is not possible to determine whether the workers will arrive the next day due to the complex security situation and you have a complex situation that has no real solution.
