Middle East common ground

Finding points of common interest between Israelis and Palestinians must be challenging, but they do have a “common language: tech management.” Commerce passes the borders regularly, startups are beginning to transform the Palestinian economy, and business partnerships grow among parties of both sides.

John Chambers, CEO of Cisco, and other American tech executives also “push their Israel subsidiaries to outsource research and development projects to Palestinian startups or to hire local Arabs.”

Creating inter-connected prosperity could be a big part of the lasting peace that is in everyone's best interest.
