Labor Minister Kamil Abou Sleiman stressed Thursday that “the labor plan does not target the Palestinians,” adding that he gave his instructions to facilitate the procedure to grant them work permits.
“All the measures we are taking will only help them,” he noted.
Speaking from al-Nejmeh Square, the minister said that they will continue to implement the law and no decision has been taken against the Palestinians.
“I do not understand the protests since all we do is protect the Palestinians,” he added.
