Jerusalem, 11 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s government unanimously approved a national plan to secure supplies of critical minerals essential to its technology, energy and defense industries.
The initiative aims to reduce Israel’s dependence on foreign suppliers while leveraging Israeli innovation and international partnerships to create new economic and diplomatic opportunities. Critical minerals are used in products ranging from electric vehicles and microchips to advanced military aircraft.
A Foreign Ministry task force recently recommended strengthening supply chains and developing strategic partnerships with mineral-producing countries. Israel has already begun cooperation on the issue with several countries, including Kazakhstan.
