Nepali youths awaiting employment opportunities in Israel protested in Kathmandu, demanding clarity on delayed recruitment and the protection of their previous applications. Thousands of applicants, who were not selected in the 2024 lottery, were assured inclusion in the next quota but now face uncertainty as the Department of Foreign Employment indicates a new process may begin. Protesters argue that restarting with a new lottery would be unfair and urge the government to reserve a separate quota for earlier applicants.
