Israel Denies Work Visa to German Journalist Over Anti-Israel Stance

Israel Denies Work Visa to German Journalist Over Anti-Israel Stance

Israel's Population and Immigration Authority denied a work visa to German journalist Serena Bilanceri on Sunday, preventing her from serving as a correspondent for the German newspaper taz. The decision, based on her critical articles and calls for sanctions against Israel, followed a recommendation from the Ministry of Diaspora and the Fight against Antisemitism. Authorities cited a law allowing visa denial for those acting against the state, stating they would not tolerate boycott calls under the guise of journalism. This action is part of a wider Israeli policy against foreign individuals advocating for boycotts or sanctions.

Amazon in Talks to Acquire Israeli AI Firm Descartes for $7 Billion

Amazon is in talks to acquire Israeli AI company Descartes for $7 billion, a deal that gained urgency after AMD's acquisition of World Labs. Previously, Descartes' founders had opted for a lower offer from Anthropic, which collapsed due to relocation demands. Descartes' technology enhances GPU performance and has a strong existing relationship with Amazon, particularly through Amazon's Annapurna Labs in Israel. The acquisition could intensify competition with Nvidia and AMD in the AI chip market.
