Israel Approves $700 Million Budget Cut for Defense Purchases

The Israeli government approved a 2.6 billion shekel budget cut across civilian ministries for defense purchases, in addition to a prior approval for Apache helicopters. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich proposed a 4.9% cut from each ministry's 2026 budget, a decision not attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The move faces scrutiny due to its timing during an election period, with warnings that defense spending could impact civilian services.

Israel Limits New Data Centers to 200 Megawatts

Israel's Electricity Authority has limited new data centers to a maximum of 200 megawatts each, allocating 1,000 megawatts for large facilities. This decision addresses an overwhelming demand for grid connections, which totaled 27,000 megawatts. The new rules require developers to post significant financial guarantees and implement backup systems. The regulations come amid concerns over rising natural gas prices and the need to increase overall electricity generation capacity.
