Israel Considers US-Style Tax Break to Combat Brain Drain

Israel's Ministry of Finance is exploring a U.S.-style tax exemption for startup shares to prevent brain drain, potentially offering full capital gains tax relief up to $15 million after five years. This move comes amid internal discussions on employee stock option taxation and aims to retain entrepreneurs and companies. The proposed exemption mirrors the U.S. QSBS model, which is tiered based on holding periods and capped at ten times the investment. The ministry hopes this will bolster the Israeli high-tech sector against foreign tax advantages and local challenges.

Israeli Woman Recounts Hamas Attack Trauma, Met With Hostility in Netherlands

Sabine Taasa, an Israeli-French woman whose husband and son were killed on October 7, 2023, faced hostile shouts of "We don't care!" when she spoke about her trauma at a film screening in Delft, Netherlands, on October 1, 2026. Her husband died shielding their sons from a grenade, and her eldest son was killed elsewhere. The film screening, for a movie described as investigating "mass killings of Palestinian civilians," was interrupted when Taasa tried to share her personal experience. The author condemns the audience's reaction as a profound moral failure.
