The Nepali government has postponed sending Nepali workers to Israel citing the reason of recent internecine violence between the Israel and Palestine, the National News Agency RSS reported yesterday.

The government made the decision in consideration of the possible risks after the Israeli army made a series of aerial attacks on the Gaza Strip, said the RSS.

The Nepali Ministry of Labor and Transport Management said some 5-7 Nepali women workers were going to Israel each day after the attraction for the women workers grew there. Nepali people began working there since 1990s.

The Israeli attacks on Gaza were launched after eight days following the end of the six- month truce between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza.
