        "content": "<p>Geopolitical tensions heating up in the Middle East are raising\nconcerns about the continuity of business in the region. The war was\ninitiated by the United States (US) and Israel against Iran. The\nconflict then spread to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other parts\nof the Middle East. Amid the chaos, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang assured that\nhis company will remain in Israel. Huang is one of the biggest\nbeneficiaries of the AI boom, with his net worth recorded at US$163.3\nbillion (Rp2,700 trillion) according to Forbes. The AI industry has been\nrapidly expanding into Arab countries in recent years. For instance, the\nUS and UAE have formed a strategic partnership with billions of dollars\nin investments to boost AI adoption. At the recent GTC conference, Huang\nstated that his company has 6,000 employees and their families in\nIsrael. He said the company will look after them and ensure operations\nremain very stable in the region. He also delivered a personal message\nto employees in Israel. CNA reports that he called for support for them.\n\u201cWe have thousands of families in Israel. I am very worried about all of\nyou. Take good care of yourselves. We are behind you, supporting you,\nand hope to meet you,\u201d Huang said, quoted from the Times of India on\nMonday (13\/4\/2026). Nvidia, he also emphasised, will remain present in\nIsrael in the long term amid geopolitical issues. Previously, Huang made\nsimilar statements at CES 2026. At that time, he spoke about the close\nrelationship between Nvidia and Israel. Huang also revealed plans for a\nvisit to Israel. Initially, he targeted going there in April next month.\nHowever, it is not yet known whether that plan will proceed, given the\nongoing war in the Middle East. At the same time, Huang praised the\nemployees at the Israel office. They were described as extraordinary and\nhaving dedication to each other and the country. Additionally, the\n63-year-old explained some chips developed in Israel, including\nBlueField-4. Nvidia positions Israel as the main hub for its hardware\ninnovation pipeline. Nvidia\u2019s relationship with Israel appears to be\ngrowing even closer. One example is the investment through the\nconstruction of a new campus in Kiryat Tivon, which is estimated to\nemploy up to 10,000 workers.<\/p>",
