KATHMANDU, Oct 10: The Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security has issued a notice advising 24 individuals who were selected to work as caregivers in Israel's long-term care centers under labor contracts to postpone their travel plans to the country.

These individuals, who have already obtained visas, were originally scheduled for a flight at 1 AM on Wednesday.

The decision comes in the wake of recent developments, including the unfortunate loss of 10 Nepali students and injuries sustained during the attack by the Palestinian Islamic group Hamas on Israel. The situation in Israel is yet to return to normalcy.

The ministry has indicated that it will resume and progress with further procedures related to foreign employment once peace and order are restored in the region. The safety and well-being of Nepali citizens remain a top priority.

Similarly, Minister for Foreign Affairs, NP Saud, has urged people not to visit Israel individually or politically except in case of official decisions at the political level. His statements come in the wake of a war between Hamas and Israel. 

The minister made this statement while informing the Foreign Relations and Tourism Committee of the House of Representatives about the attacks in Israel by Hamas and the situation of Nepali people in war-torn Israel.
