“Israel has turned into a technological powerhouse,” Netanyahu tells progressive US think tank. “We’re in a century of intellectual products, and Israel is growing geometrically, by design. We are an economy [geared for] this growth.”
“Here is what is happening. I’m so isolated that as foreign minister and prime minister I don’t have time to see my own Knesset faction or other politicians because diplomats and heads of state come from Africa, Asia, Latin America. They all want three things – I’m talking about small countries like China, India, Japan, or 20 African states.
First, Israeli technology. Second, Israeli technology. Third, Israeli technology.
This is a fundamental change that will accelerate in the next 20 years.
Help us report truthfully on social media
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.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
