"Intel has deep roots in Israel, dating back more than 50 years. The first Intel development center in Israel was built in Haifa in 1974, marking the first Intel center to be built outside of the U.S.
The tech company now has three development centers in Haifa, Petah Tikva, and Jerusalem, as well as a manufacturing facility in Kiryat Gat. Intel has expanded many other nations as well and now operates in 46 different countries.
Intel reports that it has 11,700 employees working in Israel and 42,000 more through indirect employment. It is one of the largest companies in Israel's market, garnering over $8.7 billion in exports as of 2022, representing 5.5% of hi-tech exports from Israel and 1.75% of the country's GDP.
Intel has reported investments of more than $50 billion into its facilities in Israel, and its procurements in the country total more than $25.2 billion.
Intel's CEO Pat Gelsinger went on a Fox Sports Business broadcast on Dec. 23, 2023, to address the Israel-Hamas war and his company's involvement in Israel. In the broadcast, he expressed a strong solidarity with Israel.
"'For almost 50 years, we were the first company to start the tech nation there," Gelsinger said. "I was just on the phone, yesterday, with Isaac Herzog, the president of the country. This is a resilient people. We will support them. We believe so deeply in what they've done.'"
