Gaza Palestinians View Israeli Elections Through Lens of Existential Struggle

Palestinians in Gaza view the Israeli Knesset elections with skepticism, seeing the parliament as a colonial structure and electoral participation as a tactical necessity rather than a strategic path to change. They observe the divisions between the Joint List and the United Arab List, criticizing the latter's bargaining approach and acknowledging the limitations of the former's opposition. While recognizing the need for civil engagement within the Israeli system to protect daily life, Gazans caution against "soft Israelization" and emphasize that the true Palestinian struggle lies outside the Knesset, confronting the broader colonial project.

IMF Raises Israel's 2026 Growth Forecast to 4.5%, Cites AI and Energy Independence

IMF Raises Israel's 2026 Growth Forecast to 4.5%, Cites AI and Energy Independence

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised Israel's 2026 growth forecast to 4.5%, an increase from its previous 3.5% projection. This figure is higher than the IMF's global growth forecast but lower than Israel's own central bank's predictions. The IMF also anticipates a decrease in Israel's 2026 inflation to 1.8%, while global inflation is expected to rise. The report highlights that a smaller number of economies are driving global growth, with Israel being among them due to its AI connections and reduced energy shock exposure.

CrowdStrike Deal Values Israeli Firm XM Cyber's Tech at $600 Million

CrowdStrike Deal Values Israeli Firm XM Cyber's Tech at $600 Million

Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has revealed the full $600 million value of its acquisition of Israeli company XM Cyber's technology, primarily paid in stock. The deal, initially announced in July with only $145 million in cash, has seen its stock component surge due to CrowdStrike's rising share price. XM Cyber, founded by former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo and others, was previously sold to Germany's Schwarz Group for $700 million in 2021. CrowdStrike is acquiring XM Cyber's code and patents, not its revenue or clients.
