Israelis are so busy with present-day, day-to-day worries, politics and news that it is easy to miss some very important developments, even when they come out of President Donald Trump’s White House. In this case, I am referring to the recent Executive Order (EO) titled: “Launching the Genesis Mission”. In the words of the EO, dated November 24, 2025:

“This order launches the “Genesis Mission” as a dedicated, coordinated national effort to unleash a new age of AI‑accelerated innovation and discovery that can solve the most challenging problems of this century.”  

In the EO, the initiative is compared to the World Word II Manhattan Project, the research and development program to develop and produce the first nuclear weapons, and that – as stated by the EO – “was instrumental to our victory in World War II.”

The goal of the Genesis Mission is to enhance significantly the science and engineering capabilities of the United States. It is expected to “deliver decisive breakthroughs to secure American energy dominance, accelerate scientific discovery, and strengthen national security.”........
