Ex-Attorney General Mandelblit to Testify in Netanyahu Trial

Former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit will testify in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial, focusing on whether police exceeded investigative approvals. Mandelblit, who indicted Netanyahu, is expected to be questioned by the defense regarding his instructions and reservations during the "gifts case" investigation. The prosecution claims Mandelblit authorized further inquiry, while the defense highlights his initial skepticism about the investigation's scope. The court denied Mandelblit's request to postpone his testimony due to academic duties.

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.
