Netanyahu Calls Decision to Build AI Farm ‘Great New’ and a ‘Major Move’
Prime Minister Netanyahu announced plans for an AI server farm, calling it a "major move" to enhance Israel's military and global power projection.
Jerusalem, 22 February, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today (Sunday, 22 February 2026), at the weekly Government meeting, spoke about the decision to accelerate building an AI server farm in the country. Netanyahu called this “great news” and a “major move.”
Why? because, he said, “ultimately, leadership in AI, and in my opinion, in quantum as well, will be a decisive factor in the continued cultivation of our power. This is a small country; it needs to possess immense power. This applies both militarily and, in the ability, to project power, which is the ability to move your forces. I am talking about moving military forces across the space and even the presence of your forces within that space.”
“However,” he added, “it is not just about projecting or building power; it is also about gaining immense power advantages on a global scale. We must do this because we are a small and threatened country: Small in population and small in territory, but huge in spirit and in action. And we will do it. Therefore, this is an integral part of this vision.”
