This week, Israel canceled all work permits for thousands of Gazan workers who were legally residing in Israel, while hundreds of them were arrested and thrown into a camp near Ramallah.
Hundreds of Gaza workers took refuge in West Bank cities after the outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip.
Haaretz newspaper says that some of them were arrested when they tried to move to the West Bank after the outbreak of the war. Hundreds of them are now in Anatot camp, near Anata camp in the West Bank. Some of them were arrested when they tried to move to the West Bank illegally when
the war broke out, but it is not clear whether there was a legal reason for their arrest. An Israeli security source told Haaretz that they will be held in detention until they are returned to the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army says: “It is not possible at the present time to return them to Gaza. The issue of their continued possession of permits and the transfer of others to another place is being studied by the political level.”
