A | Israel’s government is mobilizing 360,000 reservists as the nation responds to the sudden attack by Palestinian militants.Global companies with a presence in Israel are moving quickly to safeguard their employees and come up with contingency plans if needed. Bank of America, for example, has decided to temporarily close its offices in Tel Aviv, while other banks including JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs have instructed their employees in Israel to work from home. The computer chip giant Nvidia has canceled this month's AI Summit in Tel Aviv.The businesses feeling the brunt of the war’s impact are Israeli tech startups, where many young executives and employees are joining the fight.That could be a potential blow to the country’s tech sector, which accounts for about one-fifth of the Israeli economy.Omer Keilaf, CEO and co-founder of Innoviz Technologies, said business is continuing at his Israeli-based company that makes LiDar sensors and software for industries including the auto sector."Almost half of the team is still working in the office. The other half is continuing from home," Keilaf told ABC News.While he declined to give a specific number, he said "many" of his 500 employees have been called up to fight in the war.It's estimated that most Israeli startups are seeing 10% to 30% of their workforces mobilized in the war, according to Avi Eyal, co-founder and managing partner of global venture firm Entrée Capital."Israel is resilient and so are its startups," Eyal told ABC News. "Startups are both maintaining their businesses and have been contributing tremendously to the war effort. The outpouring of support is unlike anything I have ever seen."Keilaf and his team at Innoviz Technologies are donating bullet proof vests and other equipment to help keep their employees safe on the front lines."The guys that are drafted are actually reporting high morale, which makes me very happy to hear. It helps me to bring up my morale because it's important that they feel safe," said Keilaf.His company remains in constant contact with his employees."I ask all of the team leaders to talk at least once a day on the phone, not texting, with one of their team members to hear their voice, to understand what's going on, and to see if they need any help," he said. "I think we’ll manage. We are probably the most resilient country in the world, so I’m not worried."。

【文/观察者网刘程辉】美国总统拜登早前对以色列有意进攻拉法“划下红线”，令以方颇为不满。美国Axios新闻网15日报道披露，就在拜登发出警告一天后，以色列总理内塔尼亚胡在安全内阁会议上怒吼：“我们不是美国的附庸国！”

包括一名内塔尼亚胡助手在内的三名消息人士透露了上述消息。在这场内阁会议上，内塔尼亚胡还提到了他2015年3月在国会发表的讲话，当时他表示反对美国前总统奥巴马与伊朗达成核协议。

内塔尼亚胡的一名助手回忆说，内塔尼亚胡还告诉内阁成员，他知道如何反击美国的压力，如有必要，他会再次这样做。内塔尼亚胡还称，“当我们的安全受到威胁时，我们将不惜一切代价”。

拜登8日首次表态称，如果内塔尼亚胡下令大规模进攻加沙地带南部城市拉法，他将叫停美国向以色列军队供应部分武器。此外，拜登还罕见承认美国武器被用来杀害加沙平民。美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）分析称，拜登的表态是在为以色列在拉法的军事行动划“红线”。

两位知情的以色列消息人士告诉Axios，内塔尼亚胡和他的密友、以色列战略事务部长罗恩·德默对拜登关于武器运输的决定及其公开最后通牒感到惊讶。

此外，一名美国高级官员透露，拜登和其他美国高级官员最近多次私下告诉内塔尼亚胡，如果他们继续推动入侵拉法，美国真的会采取措施取消军事援助。但一位以色列消息人士称，曾在奥巴马和特朗普政府期间担任以色列驻美国大使的德默告诉内塔尼亚胡，拜登不敢这么做。

美国和以色列高级官员表示，拜登及其亲密顾问与内塔尼亚胡和德默之间存在很深的不信任，特别是在军事进攻拉法的问题上。

一名以色列高级官员表示，过去两周，拜登团队与以色列政府就拉法问题进行的大部分接触都是通过以色列其他渠道进行的，例如国防部长约夫·加兰特。

以色列高级官员称，加兰特定期与美国国务卿布林肯、国家安全顾问沙利文等官员交流，加兰特正试图对拉法行动进行调整，“以尽量减少与拜登政府的摩擦”。

美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）13日援引美国政府高官的话称，以色列已在拉法地带边境地区集结了足够的部队，可以在未来几天发动全面入侵，但目前尚不清楚以色列是否已就此作出最终决定。与此同时，美国常务副国务卿库尔特·坎贝尔（Kurt Campbell）表示，美国不认为以色列能够在这场冲突中“完全战胜”巴勒斯坦伊斯兰抵抗运动（哈马斯）。
