Summary

Israel’s tech sector is going through a broad downsizing wave driven by currency pressure and rapid AI adoption. The layoffs are already affecting support industries such as lawyers, accountants, and investment funds, while some companies are moving work overseas or shutting development centers. The article also notes a possible shift in the labor market as displaced workers are absorbed into other sectors or start new companies.
