Israel has the highest population growth rate in the Western world

 

The Israeli real estate market will continue to climb in spite of inflation. 7 thoughts 👇

1. Simple supply and demand economics. In 2021 there were 63,000 construction starts, compared to at least 100,000 construction starts that the market needs to meet demand (according to the CEO of the Israeli Builders Association). True, you can take this number with a grain of salt but (see number 2 ...)

2. Israel has the highest population growth rate in the Western world. With over 3 children per mother on average, and with almost 40% of the population aged under 18, the next 20 years there will see many more singles, young couples and families that will need housing. And this without taking into account new immigrants and returning residents

3. The percentage of renters stands at 34%. That means 66% of the population are homeowners. In times of economic crisis (or in times of rising interest rates), investors are more available to sell investment assets. In contrast, homeowners who live in their own property will fight to keep it under their ownership. This means that only a third of the properties in the country may be sold for financial reasons only

4. Competition from investors abroad. There is no shortage of foreign investors vying for Israeli property, whether as holiday homes, investments or future residence - especially in high-demand real estate markets (Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Netanya, Herzliya)

5. Extremely low mortgage risk in Israeli property market. The 2008 US real estate crisis occurred due to massive mortgage default in which people purchased real estate beyond their financial means due to extremely liberal mortgage terms on the part of the banks. Not here - Israeli banks minimize risk by demanding 30% down payments

6. Historical proof. In the last 40 years, the average price of an apartment in Israel has never dropped. At times the growth rate slowed, but the trend was always been on the rise. True, this provides no indication on the future but by comparison, the stock market's flagship index, the S&P 500, collapsed 6 times in that same period

7. Supply chain crisis driving up the price of construction materials. The war in Ukraine, the economic effects of the Corona, a decline in output of China's export market - all these and more have led to a spike in the price of basic raw materials. This drives up the price of building new buildings - regardless of the fluctuation in land prices

Israeli firm develops radar which can ‘see’ through walls

 

Israel-based Camero-Tech company developed a next-generation portable, high-performance imaging system that can ‘see’ through walls.

According to a press release from Camero-Tech, it is launching the Xaver 1000 – the new generation of the company’s product line that offers unprecedented operational capabilities to military forces, law enforcement agencies, Intelligence units, and first responders. 

The Xaver 1000 has an AI-based tracking algorithm of live targets and its own 3D ‘Sense-Through-The-Wall’ capability, enabling it to detect and ‘see’ people or static objects behind walls and obstacles. Live objects can be seen in high resolution down to the level of specific body parts. This includes whether an object is sitting, standing or lying down, even after they have been stationary for a long period of time.

The system also enables users to measure the height of objects and decide whether they are adults, children, or animals, resulting in a clear operational advantage and the ability to ‘step into the known’.

Operatable by a single user and ready for use with the push of a button, the Xaver 1000 is optimized for tactical and ISR operations, making this an essential system for military, law enforcement, search and rescue teams and intelligence units operating in various situations, including hostile urban environments and of natural disaster sites.

“The XaverTM 1000 determines the most suitable approach to ensure successful life-saving missions in a variety of operational scenarios, such as hostage rescue situations,” says Amir Beeri, CEO and founder of Camero. “A high-resolution 3D view and other powerful tools of the system provide an exceptional level of situational awareness. Being able to achieve a high level of sensitivity, the Xaver™ 1000 is a true game-changer for special forces and law enforcement teams conducting urban and rural operations that require reliable information regarding hidden live objects.”

The Xaver 1000 is controlled by an embedded 10.1’’ touchscreen display with a simple user interface for intuitive interpretation. The display also features easy menu navigation and integrated data recording and playback for post-mission analysis, training and debriefing. Completely radiation safe, the system meets human exposure international standards.

US to lift negative COVID test requirement for air travelers

 

The Biden administration announced on Friday that it will remove the requirement for travelers to test negative for COVID-19 before entering the U.S.

The change will take place for air travelers entering the U.S. at midnight on Sunday, CNN reported.

The CDC decided the restrictions were no longer necessary after the travel industry asked for the rule change for the last few months, advocating that the measure was not needed “based on the science and data,” a senior administration source told CNN.

The restriction went into effect during early 2021, put in place by the Trump administration and then expanded by the Biden administration. It required air travelers entering the U.S., including American citizens, to provide a negative COVID-19 test before getting onto planes. U.S. land boarder crossings were not included in the regulation.

The measure was harming travel demand, the airline and travel industry had been telling the administration, pushing for the rule to be lifted. Politicians from both parties had been urging the administration to remove the requirement, saying it was not longer necessary and was negatively impacting the hospitality industry.

The CDC said that it will examine the move in three months in order to determine if it needs to be reinstated, according to CNBC.
