Residents described the destruction of their homes as catastrophic, with many unable to find immediate alternative housing. The Mayor of Rahat condemned the demolitions as a crime and questioned the government's housing policies for the displaced Bedouin population.

Amazon in Talks to Acquire Israeli AI Firm Descartes for $7 Billion

Amazon is in talks to acquire Israeli AI company Descartes for $7 billion, a deal that gained urgency after AMD's acquisition of World Labs. Previously, Descartes' founders had opted for a lower offer from Anthropic, which collapsed due to relocation demands. Descartes' technology enhances GPU performance and has a strong existing relationship with Amazon, particularly through Amazon's Annapurna Labs in Israel. The acquisition could intensify competition with Nvidia and AMD in the AI chip market.
