Interview: Israel's Opposition: "You don't have to agree to every demand of an ally"
Mati Gill is running in the Israeli parliamentary election with former Prime Minister Bennett. In an interview, he says: Israel must strengthen high-tech, but in terms of security policy, it must be "even more combative".
Mati Gill, a former entrepreneur and head of AION Labs, has entered politics, joining Naftali Bennett's right-liberal alliance B'Yachad. Gill cites Israel's economic and security crises, including a decline in foreign investment and a brain drain of skilled workers, as reasons for his decision. He believes a new government is needed to create incentives to lure back emigrants and restore stability, which is crucial for attracting investors to long-term research projects.
Gill aims to make Israel a leader in AI and quantum technologies, and to focus on groundbreaking research and innovation.
