Its diverse businesses benefited from the town\u2019s strategic location north of Jerusalem, which made it one of the city\u2019s important gateways. Then the wall cut Bir Nabala off, killing its commercial life overnight and turning it into a remote village on the far edges of Ramallah. Residents have since been gradually leaving the town.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Israeli wall stretches across the horizon in the village from edge to edge. Lining the streets are a few scattered workshops that continue to function, buried in the silence of empty neighborhoods. Several men take a break from work in front of a metal recycling workshop, right across from the wall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cPermit revocations? That\u2019s everybody\u2019s story here,\u201d says Muhammad (not his real name), who spoke to\u00a0<em>Mondoweiss<\/em>\u00a0on the condition of anonymity. \u201cWe\u2019re lucky to even have this job here. Every week, hundreds of workers come here to jump over the wall and find work on the other side. All of their permits were revoked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For decades, Palestinian day-laborers in the West Bank have relied on work inside Israel and Israeli-annexed Jerusalem for their economic survival. They needed to request a special working permit from the Israeli military authorities in order to cross a militarized checkpoint to reach their workplaces, hundreds of thousands of which were issued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But after October 7, Israel revoked the permits of about 150,000 workers legally working in Israel en masse. An additional 50,000 workers were estimated to be working in Israel without permits, having infiltrated through smuggling networks, bringing the total to 200,000 laborers. Their salaries contributed to a vital flow of money into the West Bank\u2019s economy for years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When Israel cut them off overnight, the Palestinian economy was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2024\/07\/why-the-west-bank-is-on-the-verge-of-economic-collapse\/\">plunged into crisis<\/a>. The persistent labor ban has continued to form one of the main pillars of the ongoing collapse of the West Bank economy, increasing economic pressure on hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and their families.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In Bir Nabala, Muhammad and his co-workers prepare to resume work crushing metallic junk into cubes. \u201cI used to work in a warehouse in Jerusalem. I worked there for six years,\u201d he says. \u201cI used to make up to 400 NIS [$133] per day.\u201d A few days after October 7, the manager came and told them that they couldn\u2019t keep their Palestinian laborers anymore, he adds, since the Israeli authorities started to impose fines on any business that violated the ban on hiring West Bank workers. \u201cThat was my last day of work there,\u201d he recalls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Muhammad says that his current circumstances are better than most. He doesn\u2019t live in Bir Nabala, and has to take several taxis to get to work. But it\u2019s better than the alternative. \u201cHere the workshop owner buys us lunch,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd even though transportation is expensive, it\u2019s not as bad as risking jumping over the wall and paying a smuggler to hide you on your way to the work site, where many workers end up getting arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The phenomenon of wall-hopping and paying smugglers to get you across the Green Line for work used to be commonplace before October 2023, but after that date, Israeli authorities launched aggressive arrest campaigns and shot any would-be wall-jumper on sight, some of whom have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.wafa.ps\/Pages\/Details\/161303\">been killed<\/a>. This led to a dramatic drop in the number of people making the attempt, but the compounding effects of Israel\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2025\/09\/israel-is-trying-to-collapse-the-palestinian-authority-the-first-step-is-destroying-the-palestinian-economy\/\">economic<\/a>\u00a0and physical\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2026\/03\/israel-strangles-west-bank-amid-war-on-iran\/\">strangulation<\/a>\u00a0of the West Bank have pushed many now-unemployed into desperation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On Monday,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rayafm\/posts\/pfbid0fv2mnSt1TATikDzSiyUya4qoAv8pvAviyyRLUGEr8XeFsw83AWdaMsjfjH8gBmpyl\">video footage<\/a>\u00a0circulated on Palestinian social media accounts showing dozens of Palestinians descending from the packed container of a garbage truck, some of them fainting, before being arrested by Israeli police officers. According to local media reports, the men were Palestinian workers who had been smuggled in the garbage truck for work in Israel, demonstrating just how dire economic conditions have gotten for West Bank Palestinians.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>\u2018There\u2019s no more hope for any kind of future\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Not far away from Bir Nabala, the crowded town of Kufr Aqab is also separated from Jerusalem by the wall, but it\u2019s also not under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority (PA), since it technically falls under Israel\u2019s Jerusalem municipality. This effectively\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2026\/02\/the-palestinians-stuck-in-the-no-mans-land-of-jerusalem-and-the-israeli-settlement-plan-to-expel-them\/\">turned Kufr Aqab into a no-man\u2019s-land<\/a>, caught in the liminal space between Israeli neglect and Palestinian incapacity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Amid the irregular businesses lining the town\u2019s main street, Salem (not his real name), a former Palestinian worker in Israel who also spoke to\u00a0<em>Mondoweiss<\/em>\u00a0on the condition of anonymity, runs a mobile food stall selling corn seasoned with spices and tossed in margarine. \u201cI never thought that I would be selling corn, but this is what I do today to keep food on the table for my family,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cI used to work in Deir al-Asad in the Galilee, and I was an experienced construction chief in charge of all the workers,\u201d he says proudly. \u201cI used to earn up to 600 NIS [about $200] per day. Now, I barely make 150 NIS, but it\u2019s better than risking my life wall-hopping.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Salem\u2019s father was also a construction worker during the 1990s, but inside the West Bank, which at the time had experienced a building boom and an influx of economic investments in the wake of the Oslo Accords. But then came the Second Intifada in September 2000, and construction jobs plummeted. \u201cI was 23 in 2009 after the Second Intifada ended, and I had to help sustain my family,\u201d Salem explains. \u201cAnd like most unskilled young men my age, I applied for a work permit in Israel. I worked there ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">During this period, Salem married and started his own family. He is now a father of six, the oldest of whom is 11. He used to spend up to two weeks at a time in Israel without going home, living at his work site, and saving up enough money to tide him through periods of temporary permit revocations, such as during Israel\u2019s 2014 war on Gaza. \u201cAfter October 7, I thought this was going to be another round of revocations that would last for just a few weeks, but I never thought that I would burn through all of my savings and still be waiting for work permits to be reissued two years later,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cMy employer in Deir Al-Asad called me and told me that he was unable to hire us until things changed,\u201d Salem recalls. \u201cTime passed, and after my savings ran out in the first six months, I decided to apply for a permit again, but my application was rejected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">During this time, expenses in the West Bank continued to rise. \u201cOur expenditures as a household decreased by 80%,\u201d Salem details. \u201cI used to buy my son shoes worth 200 NIS [$66] at the beginning of every school year, but this year I looked for a 50 NIS pair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">According to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pcbs.gov.ps\/en\/post-details\/?postId=23572\">Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics<\/a>, prices in the West Bank surged in March 2026 alone: vegetables up 15.78%, fruit up 3.32%, chicken up 4.42%, and red meat up 1.17%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cWe buy less meat, and after I used to buy three kilograms of tomatoes for the week, now I buy half a kilo, alongside half a kilo of cucumbers,\u201d he describes. \u201cThe most expensive thing is transportation, since I have to spend 40 NIS going back and forth to Kufr Aqab for work. And I used to buy a chicken sandwich for lunch during work, but now I just have a pita bread and a sour yogurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the past, there were forms of mutual aid that Palestinians could lean on in times of hardship, Salem adds ruefully. \u201cWe had savings collectives that people could draw upon whenever a member needed it, usually on a rotating basis. And then when their economic situation was better, they would pay back into the fund,\u201d but today, no one has enough cash to pay into that kind of savings collective, he says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cYesterday I was talking to a group of workers. We\u2019re all devastated,\u201d Salem continues. \u201cThere\u2019s no more hope for any kind of future. It\u2019s only about surviving another day while trying not to think about the accumulating debts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Back in Bir Nabala, Muhammad and his co-workers have finished their break and gone back to their tasks. At the center of town, drivers wait for enough people to fill up the mini-bus before heading out toward Ramallah.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The way out crosses under an Israeli-built bridge and an Israeli-only settler road. One wall under the bridge is covered in graffiti. A line reads, \u201cpay to work.\u201d Another sardonically proclaims that you need to pay 600 NIS to central Israel, 900 NIS to the north. The going rate for smuggling these days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As the mini-bus drifts into Ramallah, the West Bank\u2019s economic center, shops and businesses begin to appear abundantly on the roadside as the separation wall and the voices of workers whose livelihoods have been destroyed fade away into the distance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Link :\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2026\/04\/no-permit-no-work-no-future-inside-the-lives-of-west-bank-workers-crushed-by-israels-labor-ban\/?ml_recipient=185001256608073325&amp;ml_link=185001194452682612&amp;utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=2026-04-18&amp;utm_campaign=Daily+Headlines+RSS+Automation+-+8am\">https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2026\/04\/no-permit-no-work-no-future-inside-the-lives-of-west-bank-workers-crushed-by-israels-labor-ban\/?ml_recipient=185001256608073325&amp;ml_link=185001194452682612&amp;utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=2026-04-18&amp;utm_campaign=Daily+Headlines+RSS+Automation+-+8am<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Israel revoked the work permits of over 200,000 Palestinian laborers following October 7, West Bank families are burning through savings, skipping meals, and losing hope for any kind of future.
