Under this incoming directive, bilateral labor migration between the two nations will be handled exclusively through state-managed arrangements rather than third-party recruitment pathways.
The move sets a defined timeline for restructuring the employment pipeline for Sri Lankan personnel entering Israel, establishing bilateral state oversight as the mandatory conduit for future hiring processes.
Key Developments
- Israel will mandate that all recruitment of Sri Lankan workers take place strictly under a government-to-government (G-to-G) mechanism starting in 2027.
- The transition shifts foreign employment protocols away from alternative channels toward direct state coordination.
By phasing in the mandatory G-to-G requirement ahead of the 2027 timeline, both administrations will operate under formalized official channels to manage the mobilization and processing of overseas workers.
