‘In many ways, Taiwan sees a reflection of itself in Israel—two vibrant democracies facing threats from hostile neighbors.’
Following the devastating Hezbollah attack on Majdal Shams that killed 12 youths and injured many others, Taiwan is partnering with a Druze veteran group for a tech training initiative for the Druze community.
The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Tel Aviv is partnering with the Druze High-Tech Empowerment Center (DTEC) in Usfiya, and Taiwan has pledged over NIS 187,000 for the project.
Taiwanese Rep. in Israel, Ya-Ping (Abby) Lee, stated that the project aims to increase opportunities for Druze professionals in the tech sector and to show solidarity after the devastating rocket attack.
