ISRAEL HIGH-TECH COMPANY HIRES PROGRAMMERS IN GAZA:

Israel's Mellanox Technologies already employs a large number of Arab programmers in Israel and 68 people in Ramallah and Nablus. Now, working with the Palestinian software firm ASAL Technologies, Mellanox has hired four programmers in Gaza and hopes to add at least six more workers by the end of 2016. Israeli companies have begun to outsource work to other countries, such as India. But Palestinians have the same skills and they are in the same time zone, said Mellanox Chief Executive Eyal Waldman.
