Saudi Arabia -The Saudi Ministry of Labour has denied media reports that Jewish workers are allowed to work in the Kingdom.

The ministry, in a statement issued on Tuesday, affirmed that it issued no decision whereby the workers who believe in certain religion are permitted to work in Saudi Arabia.

The media centre of the ministry elaborated that the whole confusion may have arisen from an e-application form in which the worker needs to mention his or her religion.

“Such a mere procedure does not necessarily mean this or that applicant shall be granted permission to work in the kingdom no matter what his or her religion is.”

The ministry has issued this clarification in reply to some media reports that Jewish workers are allowed to work in the Kingdom as per an online application form used for recruitment via the ministry website, the centre added.
