Israel will provide more work permits for Palestinians in the West Bank and is considering a similar move for inhabitants of the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Tuesday.

The government last expanded the quota for Gaza to 10,000 in October, months after an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas militants who control the blockaded coastal territory.
