During Prime Minister Narendra Modi's state visit to Israel on February 25-26, 2026, India and Israel signed three Implementation Protocols on Labour Mobility as part of the broader package of 16 bilateral agreements inked alongside the elevation of ties to a Special Strategic Partnership for Peace, Innovation and Prosperity. The three protocols cover separate workstreams — the Commerce and Services sector, the Manufacturing sector, and the Restaurant sector — and together institutionalise a quota of up to 50,000 additional Indian workers to move to Israel over the next five years, a significant expansion of the bilateral labour corridor opened earlier in 2023. Under the Commerce and Services protocol, Indian workers will be deployed across retail, cleaning, logistics, warehousing, food processing, hospitality, and recycling roles. The Manufacturing protocol opens opportunities in textiles, metals, electronics, chemicals, wood and paper, plastics, and rubber industries. The Restaurant sector protocol covers restaurants, cafés, and food preparation businesses. The agreements were signed in Jerusalem during talks between Prime Minister Modi and his Israeli counterpart Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and form part of the twenty-seven bilateral outcomes announced from the state visit. The elevated Special Strategic Partnership framework also includes MoUs in agriculture through the India-Israel Innovation Centre for Agriculture under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research and Israel's MASHAV agency, a cross-border payment linkage between the National Payments Corporation of India International and Israel's MASAV system, and a letter of intent to establish an Indo-Israel Cyber Centre of Excellence in India. India sends the largest number of legal migrant workers to Israel among non-Palestinian sources and the new protocols are expected to address workforce shortages in Israel while expanding overseas employment opportunities for Indian skilled and semi-skilled workers.
