President Isaac Herzog holds meetings with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Swiss President Guy Parmelin during his attendance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, according to a statement from his office.
During their meeting, Herzog and Aliyev discussed ways “to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties,” while Herzog and Parmelin spoke about “deepening cooperation” in the fields of “trade, innovation, science, and technology,” according to the brief readouts.
Herzog also spoke with the CEO of US chip giant Nvidia, Jensen Huang, at the forum, and discussed the release of former hostage Avinatan Or, an Nvidia employee, from Hamas captivity last year, as well as plans for Nvidia to build a new campus in northern Israel and for Huang to soon visit.
“What a miracle,” Huang says about Or’s return in a video from the president’s office, telling the president that Or “was so amazed when he came out [of captivity] that he was still employed,” and joking that “he has so much work” to catch up on.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
