Israel grants Intel $3.2 billion for new $25 billion chip plant

Sounds like the want to ensure access to chips for missiles, and don’t get cut off like Russia was
Or they are worried that Intel will pull out due to risk of consumer boycott and want to push the deal through.

I don’t think Intel is too worried about boycotts because a significant portion of their customer base is businesses.

The only real sector of their customer base that would even do a boycott is the independent PC builders, and I doubt even 5% of those customers would follow through.

Your average consumer doesn’t even know what the hell an “intel” is or why they should care, it’s just a sticker they see on their laptop/PC.

Or be a Taiwan and be protected from invasion/destruction because everyone has a vested interest in your advanced chip fabs.
