Israel’s Population Authority announced yesterday that 2,000 Jordanian workers will enter Eilat from Aqaba, to be employed by Eilat’s hotel industry. Contrary to COVID-time regulations, the Jordanian workers can now go home after work and come back the next day without being required to stay and sleep in Israel.
This decision should not only help the tourism industry, in dire need of workers, but also contribute to Israel-Jordan relations — which have been improving in recent months in diplomacy, economy and security.
