Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to use the power of his office to help bring the world’s largest retailer to Israel.
That was Netanyahu’s message to John Furner, a senior Walmart Inc. executive, at a meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, according to Netanyahu’s economic adviser, Avi Simhon. They discussed the idea of Walmart’s opening a retail branch and investing in Israeli technologies, said Simhon, without giving further details.
