LONDON — Intel is discussing locating a wafer fab in Kiryat Gat, Israel, with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, according to The Media Line.

Intel is asking for $400 million out of an expected $2.7 billion cost of building and equipping its second fab in the southern Israel location, the report said. However, the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor is reportedly offering only between $200 million and $250 million.

Reportedly the Israeli government is offering Intel a "two-for-one" deal whereby Intel would undertake to build a second facility in northern Israel.

Intel has an R&D facility in the northern Israeli city of Haifa and also has operations in Jerusalem, Yakum and Petach Tikva.
