What happened
The report notes that Israel's political landscape is consumed by coalition arithmetic and vetoes, resulting in a divided Knesset. Amid this environment, high-tech founders are seeking a shared horizon and may choose to build in Beersheba rather than Berlin. The report also provides historical context, noting that Abraham Lincoln sought reelection in 1864 with Andrew Johnson, a Southern Democrat loyal to the Union.
