This is an interesting development in the complex geopolitical landscape of the Middle East. It’s noteworthy that such a significant investment is being made by a major US company in Israel amidst ongoing conflict.

The $25 billion chip plant represents a major investment in Israel’s tech sector, potentially creating jobs and boosting the economy. Intel’s involvement could be seen as a sign of confidence in Israel’s stability and economic prospects, potentially strengthening its international standing.

Israel’s Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich was elated by the news.

“The choice of the global company Intel to approve the unprecedented investment of 25 billion dollars and to establish its new factory right here, in Israel, is important and significant. Such an investment, while Israel is at war with absolute evil,” he said.

“This investment will promote quality employment with high productivity in the peripheral settlements and will affect the growth of the Israeli economy,” added Smotrich.

Smotrich credited the professionals working in his ministry’s Budget Division, its Director General’s Office, the Chief Economist Division, the Tax Authority and the legal counsel who managed the process with Intel, for their “professional work and important results for the Israeli economy.”

On the war in Gaza, Smotrich added, “The State of Israel will end the difficult period and continue forward with its head held high, the Israeli economy will continue to flourish and prosper.”
