Netanyahu Explores Crypto as Hedge Against Potential Sanctions

Netanyahu Explores Crypto as Hedge Against Potential Sanctions

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has proposed that Israel explore cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to prepare for potential economic sanctions. While countries like Russia and Iran have used digital currencies amidst sanctions, the article questions the effectiveness and international implications of such a move for Israel. It suggests crypto might offer a limited backup payment channel but cannot replace international banking relationships or fully shield Israel from sanctions' impact. Regulatory efforts in Israel are focused on digital asset services, not a sanctions-circumvention system.

Mivtach Shamir Energy Enters Server Farm Race with Jordan Valley Option

Mivtach Shamir's energy division has secured a ten-year option to develop a 100 MW server farm on 106 dunams in Kibbutz Ashdot Yaakov Meuhad, Jordan Valley. The deal allows Shamir Energy to plan, finance, and build the facility, with the potential for electricity generation or storage. This strategic move aligns with a limited government allocation for new server farms, where demand far exceeds supply, and leverages Shamir Energy's existing power generation expertise.
