Former Attorney General Mandelblit Testifies in Netanyahu Corruption Trial

Former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit testified Wednesday in the corruption trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel Considers Tax Break for Tech Founders to Curb Exodus

Israel Considers Tax Break for Tech Founders to Curb Exodus

Israel's Ministry of Finance is exploring a tax exemption on capital gains of up to 45 million shekels for tech entrepreneurs and investors to prevent companies and founders from relocating abroad. The proposal, inspired by U.S. tax incentives, aims to retain the vital high-tech sector, which contributes significantly to Israel's economy. The government is concerned about a growing trend of Israeli tech companies expanding operations outside the country, impacting GDP and exports. Discussions are also underway regarding potential changes to stock option taxation for tech employees.
