What's drawing them to Isreal? Is the local talent really that good?
Probably promised slave labor by the camp residents.
Silicon Valley person here. There is a relatively developed tech sector there, with a growing startup scene in Tel-Aviv. So not a horrible place to have an office (from purely talent reasons, setting ethics aside). But not necessarily fantastic either. There are bigger and more developed tech scenes in other countries. The Netherlands, Germany and Austria in particular have a lot of high tech semiconductor manufacturing companies which would be logical for a company like NVIDIA. As well as the added benefit of not currently waging a war against civilians.
The networking part of Nvidia (based on Infiniband) was originally an Israeli company called Mellanox. They probably already have a large footprint there.
Israeli investors in NVIDIA push the company to invest in Israel. Israel is one giant nepotism club.
Some deal with the israeli government if I had to guess.
Probably currying favour with Zionists in the administration.
