Minister of the Interior: "Consider employing Palestinians in the construction industry, or we will pay with compound interest" - Voila! Real estate. "An entire industry cannot be collapsed.

"There are workers who enter without a permit, and this leads to disasters like the attack in Gan Yavne," he added. "If the Minister of Finance had invested in bringing in foreign workers a tenth of what he invests in opposing the employment of Palestinians," said Raul Sargo, president of the Boni Ha'aretz Contractors Association.
