Eli Cohen said, "Intel's choice to continue making major investments in Israel is an important vote of confidence in the State of Israel and the Israeli economy. Its operations in Israel in R&D and advanced production are supported by the policies of the Ministry of Economy to increase exports and create quality jobs in general and in peripheral regions in particular. We see Intel as a partner and its choice to again invest in Israel strengthens the Israeli economy and employment and we expect this cooperation to continue in the future.
