Gaza conflict: Will the war destroy Israel's tech empire?

The close connection between Israel's thriving tech industry and the US Silicon Valley is on the brink! While Israeli startups have traditionally benefited from American venture capitalists and big tech companies, the current conflict in Gaza could jeopardize these lucrative relationships. Protests by employees at the tech giants against their companies' involvement in the war raise questions: Will support for Israel's tech sector wane?

Protests in the tech industry

The wave of outrage among employees of major tech companies could seriously impact financial support for Israeli startups. The close ties between the two sectors have strengthened Israel's innovative strength, but the current protests suggest that the mood may be changing. The question remains: How long can Israel count on the support of the US tech industry as the conflict in Gaza continues to escalate?

In an exciting discussion moderated by Anelise Borges, experts have their say: Hasan Ibraheem, a former Google employee, Paul Biggar, founder of Tech For Palestine, and Bella Jacobs, coordinator for boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns in the tech sector. Their perspectives could be crucial to understanding how the tech industry is reacting to current developments and what consequences this could have for the future of Israeli technology.
