Businessman Oren Dobronsky Declines Knesset Seat, Seeks AI Minister Role
Businessman Oren Dobronsky announced he will not run for the Knesset on the Likud party list in the upcoming elections, despite an offer from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Dobronsky stated that Netanyahu had approached him two months prior, offering him a protected spot within the top ten on the Likud list and the position of Minister for AI Affairs.
However, Dobronsky opted to serve solely as a professional minister, believing this role would allow him to best utilize his experience without being a Knesset member. He and the Prime Minister agreed on this arrangement. Dobronsky expressed his intention to collaborate closely with Netanyahu and the Likud party to establish Israel as a global leader in artificial intelligence.
