The video ends on an optimistic note, saying, "We look forward to deepening our friendship with our friends in the US, together we can reach new heights! And win the climate battle for all of humanity."

In November, an interministerial team was formed to discuss the government's decision to increase solar energy production to 30% of Israel's energy consumption by 2030.

The team will work to examine existing and potential roadblocks and policy changes to advance solar energy.
