[1/5] Palestinian labourers, who were in Israel during the Hamas October 7 attack, arrive at the Rafah border after being sent back by Israel to the strip, in the southern Gaza Strip, November 3, 2023.
There will be no more Palestinian workers from Gaza," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement.
"Those workers from Gaza who were in Israel on the day of the outbreak of the war will be returned to Gaza."
However, a senior Palestinian Authority official said 4,950 Gaza residents had fled to the West Bank from Israel and some 5,000 were believed to have been detained by Israel.
Palestinians have limited self-rule in areas where they live in the West Bank, which is under Israel military occupation.
