Defiant Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled down on opposition to Palestinian statehood, deepening the divide with Israel’s closest international allies, as cracks in his wartime “unity” government became increasingly evident.

Anger with Netanyahu is also increasingly visible on the streets, even though there is broad public support for the war. On Saturday, protesters gathered in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Caesarea and Kfar Saba, some calling for bolder action to secure the release of hostages, and others demanding the prime minister step down.

One in Jerusalem held a placard that read: “Mothers’ cry: we will not sacrifice our children in the war to save the rightwing.”

    Secondly, you are correct that wars don’t help a lot with attracting new companies, however, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages as there are currently a lot of R&D centres there. Hence why a lot of population interested in hi-tech may go there which eventually results in more tech companies opening their facilities there.

    Take intel for example.
