Eyal Waldman, an Israeli high-tech tycoon, founder CEO of Mellanox Technologies, created research and development centers five years ago first in Judea and Samaria (Palestinian) and then two years ago in Gaza, employing hundreds of Arab Palestinian developers. He used to say then: "We have a lot of employees in Gaza today. There are talented and smart people out there, economically it will pay off. We have good staff, within a time zone, highly motivated, accessible and opportunities. And I believe this is very important to bring the two nations together. People used to be afraid of each other and didn't talk. But the positive is created when people start working together and see tension being reduced and cooperation working. It's good for all sides." On October 7, 2023, Palestinian terrorists came from Gaza and murdered his 24 year-old daughter Danielle less than a mile from where her father opened the most innovative factory for Gazans.
