In a move marking a turning point in the future of global technology, the United States has launched Pax Silica, an international alliance aimed at reengineering the global technological order by securing supply chains for artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and critical minerals. The alliance demonstrates the growing global recognition of the direct link between technological superiority, national security, and economic sovereignty. It is based on bringing together the most influential countries in technology, capital, and resources within a selective framework grounded in geopolitical trust and functional complementarity across the entire value chain, from mineral and energy extraction to design, manufacturing, and digital infrastructure. Within the framework of Israel’s strategy to entrench its presence at the core of the global innovation ecosystem, Israel joined the alliance from its earliest formative stages, drawing on its strengths in advanced chip design, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence solutions. At the same time, the absence of China and India reveals the contours of a redrawing of the international technological influence map around nodes of control over resources and critical inputs. In this broader context, the initiative reflects a structural shift in the global economy toward a model based on technological blocs and the management of strategic dependencies, redirecting investment flows, deepening technological fragmentation, and consolidating economic security as a central instrument of international influence.
