Two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters that Nvidia has received a wave of proposals for potential locations to support its major expansion plans in “Israel,” aimed at addressing the growing demand for artificial intelligence data centers.

Expansion plan could generate thousands of jobs

Earlier this week, Nvidia issued a request for information seeking land to build a new complex near its current facility in northern “Israel.” Industry estimates suggest the project could cost billions of dollars and is expected to generate thousands of jobs.

Santa Clara–based Nvidia, a global leader in advanced AI chip design, recently became the most valuable company in history with a market valuation of $4 trillion.

The company entered “Israel” in 2020 after acquiring Mellanox Technologies for nearly $7 billion. Its regional headquarters is in Yokneam, a town with several tech firms located near the northern coastal city of Haifa.

Dozens of site offers from across the entity

Nvidia’s “Israeli” branch declined to disclose further details beyond what was included in the public request for information.

A third source, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, claimed Nvidia had received “dozens and dozens and dozens” of offers from municipalities and other entities, many of which are not located near Haifa.

Nvidia has set July 23 as the deadline for receiving proposals. The proposed complex is expected to span 180,000 square meters.

Nvidia is deeply integrated in the occupation's economy 

Nvidia has established itself as a key pillar of the “Israeli” tech-military-industrial complex. Following its acquisition of Mellanox Technologies, Nvidia now employs over 5,000 people in “Israel,” approximately 15% of its global workforce. It operates across multiple cities, including Yokneam, Tel Aviv, Ra’anana, Jerusalem, Tel Hai, and Beersheba.

In 2025, the company announced plans to invest over $600 million in new infrastructure, including a massive AI data center and a campus covering 180,000 square meters. This would make Nvidia the largest foreign tech employer in the entity, surpassing Intel.

Military ties and war contributions

The company is under growing scrutiny for providing hardware, such as DGX systems and Jetson AI cards, used by the Israeli military in its war on Gaza. Many of these products were procured by the Ministry of Security between 2023 and 2025. These technologies are believed to be involved in AI-based targeting systems such as "Lavender" and "Gospel," which have been linked to civilian deaths.

In addition to hardware supply, Nvidia and its employees donated $15 million during the recent Gaza war, and the company provided logistics support such as meals and equipment to Israeli families displaced by the war.

These actions have made Nvidia a target of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which has accused the company of direct complicity in “Israel’s” military operations and systemic oppression of Palestinians.

Francesca Albanese warns of Big Tech’s role in genocide

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, in her June 2025 report titled “From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide,” warned that major technology companies, including Nvidia, are directly complicit in “Israel’s” genocide in Gaza. The report identifies 48 corporations as complicit in violations of international law, highlighting how Big Tech’s AI, cloud services, and surveillance systems enable systematic targeting, displacement, and control of Palestinians.

Albanese states: “Israel’s genocide continues because it is lucrative for many,” pointing to Tel Aviv’s surging stock market and massive corporate profits during the war on Gaza. Her findings have been endorsed by leading economists such as Yanis Varoufakis and Thomas Piketty.
