Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced a plan to combat the "brain drain" of skilled professionals from Israel and encourage their return. Speaking at the annual Venture Summit in Tel Aviv, Bennett emphasized the need for the next government to implement a large-scale program to retain and attract talent.
He stated that Israel must become a more attractive location for establishing companies and conducting business, which requires governmental stability and improved conditions for entrepreneurs and investors. "We will launch a large-scale plan to stop the brain drain and bring talents back to Israel," Bennett declared.
