Mada al-Carmel has published a position paper titled “The War on Gaza and Israel’s Technology Sector”. The paper addresses the current attempts to organize the business community in general, and the high-tech sector in particular, to enable it to play an effective role in Israeli politics, in contrast to the role that the sector has played in recent years.

The paper therefore discusses a serious shift in the interests and goals of the business sector, and in the methods of organization and political action within it. It argues that this shift may lead to it playing a role similar to that it played in the early 1990s during the peace negotiations with the PLO, when the sector supported the Oslo Accords and called for renewed economic policies and changes to the structure of the economy and industry in Israel.
