Interview: Israels Opposition: „Man muss nicht jeder Forderung eines Verbündeten zustimmen“

Mati Gill, a former entrepreneur turned politician, spoke in his first interview about Israel's current crisis, which extends beyond military conflicts to economic challenges. He emphasized the need for a new government to create targeted incentives to attract back those who have left the country, while maintaining a firm stance towards allies.

The interview highlighted the decline in foreign investments, emigration of skilled professionals, and a drop in start-up creation, signs that the "Start-up Nation" might not be as strong as it once was. Gill stressed that Israel should aim to be among the top three countries in AI and quantum technologies, but that focusing solely on developing everything domestically might not be the best approach.

Instead, Israel should concentrate on groundbreaking research, novel technologies, and fostering innovative enterprises, while partnering with global entities for development, production, and marketing.
