Bennett Calls AI Israel's Next Security Front

Naftali Bennett used a 103FM interview, reported by JPost at 14:46 IDT, to argue that AI has become national-security infrastructure, comparable less to ordinary software than to electricity. He said Israel must secure capabilities across AI, cyber, chips, energy, data centers and defense technology, with government responsibility at every layer and AI tutoring for every child. The remarks extend a campaign AI platform he had already built through an advisory committee and earlier top-three-by-2030 goals. For Israel, the point is strategic independence against Iran and other threats: allies should need Israeli innovation, and enemies should fear Israeli initiative.
