Youth in Kathmandu protested at Maitighar Mandala against delays and uncertainty in the Israel employment process, alleging injustice due to the government's and concerned bodies' irresponsible approach. Protesters, who have been waiting for two years, are demanding a separate quota for eligible candidates who have completed all prior processes, as they were assured inclusion in the next quota after not being selected in the 2024 lottery.

  • Protesters expressed anger over media reports suggesting 2300 new quotas for Israel would open, requiring old candidates to participate in a new lottery.
  • Candidates have repeatedly submitted memorandums to the Department of Foreign Employment, the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
  • The Department of Foreign Employment has repeatedly assured that the Israel employment process would open, but no official information has been published.
  • Thousands of youth have been waiting for a long time based on assurances that those not selected in the BS 2081 lottery would be automatically included in the new quota.
