Israel’s tech sector says more staff seek relocation abroad: Report

JERUSALEM: Requests to relocate abroad by Israelis working at multinational companies operating ‍in Israel rose in the past year in reaction to Israel’s two-year war against Palestinian militant ⁠group Hamas, a report showed on Sunday.

The Israel Advanced Technology Industries Association (IATI) found that 53% of companies reported an increase in relocation requests from Israeli employees, noting this was “a trend that may, over time, harm ‌the local innovation ‌engine and Israel’s technological leadership.”
