Apple is expanding its operations in Israel, including establishing a development center in Jerusalem. This will be the third location in Israel for the U.S. technology giant after Herzliya and Haifa.

According to a report by the Israeli business daily Globes, citing a post on LinkedIn, its new office will focus on hardware and Mac chip development.

Apple currently employs approximately 2,000 people in Israel. It was also recently revealed that it employs 60 people at a Palestinian development center in Ramallah.

Last year, the California-based company started making its own chips after previously using Intel.

The event will take place just ahead of the three-year anniversary of the Hamas-led attacks and is being organized by Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s office, JNS learned.
The Israeli prime minister plans to meet with the presidents of Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Panama and Ethiopia, as well as the prime ministers of Greece, Slovenia and Papua New Guinea.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the warning comes on the back of “various intelligence reports.”
António Guterres said there’s an “onslaught” on Gazans “with a scale of killing and destruction unlike anything I have witnessed in all my years as secretary-general.”
