Egypt Spy Chief Denies Visit to Israel Before Oct. 7 Attack

Hebrew media reports, citing intelligence sources, claim Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel did not visit Israel on September 26, 2023, contradicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and previous reports.

It also points to significant disparities within the high-tech sector and the emigration of skilled professionals. The study recommends educational reforms, budget reprioritization, and governance changes to broaden human capital and ensure future economic stability.
