Rotem Amfert workers will protest in Jerusalem on October 19, 2026, over planning delays threatening the plant's closure and endangering 1,000 direct jobs in the Negev.

Mineral company ICL beat analysts' forecasts, reporting a 35% increase in adjusted net profit. Delta Galil nearly doubled its net profit, driven in part by a customs refund from US authorities.

ICL reported strong Q2 results, with operating profit rising 47% to $266 million and net profit jumping 47% to $137 million. The growth was driven by higher potash prices and increased sales volumes.

The mineral industry giant, one of the largest stocks on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, concludes a strong quarter, announcing a growth-oriented reorganization and a cost-saving program exceeding $350 million.
