Israel to Boost Budget by $12.5 Billion for Iran and Gaza Wars
Israel will boost defense expenditure by 42 billion shekels ($12.5 billion) over the next two years to meet the costs of last month's war with Iran and the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The increase, announced by the Israeli finance and defense ministries in a joint statement on Thursday, is equivalent to roughly 2% of gross domestic product and underlines the fiscal impact of the country's multi-front war since late 2023.

SolidRun and Amarisoft Break New Ground with Full 5G Base Stations on Embedded x86 Platform
Compact, carrier-grade solution powered by SolidRun's AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 CoM and HoneyComb platform delivers new level of performance and flexibility for edge, private, and tactical 5G networks TEL AVIV, Israel, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SolidRun, a leading developer and manufacturer of high-performance System on Module (SOM) solutions, Single Board Computers (SBC) and network edge solutions, today announced a major milestone in collaboration with Amarisoft, a pioneer in software-defined wireless network technologies. The companies have successfully validated a fully functional 4G/5G base station featuring both gNB and 5GC, on SolidRun's compact Ryzen Embedded V3000 COM Express Type 7 module deployed on SolidRun's HoneyComb Ryzen V3000 carrier board. This achievement demonstrates that high-performance 5G infrastructure no longer requires bulky, power-hungry servers. Instead, SolidRun and Amarisoft have proven that a carrier-grade base station can now be delivered in a compact, power-efficient system without compromising on features or performance. The validated solution supports 100MHz bandwidth with 4T4R MIMO and runs a complete virtualized 4G/5G software stack from Amarisoft, without the need for external accelerators, FPGAs, or GPUs. "Running the full Amarisoft 5G stack on our AMD Ryzen V3000 equipped COM proves that compact x86 systems can now meet the demanding needs of modern 5G networks," said Dr. Atai Ziv, CEO at SolidRun. "It's a significant step toward making carrier-grade base station solutions more deployable at the edge, more cost-effective for OEMs, and more accessible for private and tactical network operators." The combined solution is optimized for private networks, tactical defense communications, broadcast uplinks, and edge telecom deployments, as well as testbeds and network R&D. Its small footprint and low power consumption enable integrators to deploy 4G/5G infrastructure in places where space and power constraints previously made traditional server-based systems impractical. "Validating our complete 4G/5G stack on SolidRun's AMD-powered embedded platform showcases a powerful path forward—delivering high-performance, deployable telecom systems without sacrificing energy efficiency," said Neda Nikaein, VP of Product and Operations at Amarisoft. "We see this as an important building block for future private network deployments, tactical systems, and 5G test environments that demand flexibility in form factor and performance." The AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 processor at the heart of the solution offers up to 8 cores and 16 threads of x86 processing power, along with enterprise-grade I/O and power efficiency, making it ideal for embedded telecom workloads. "This collaboration reflects the growing role AMD's embedded platforms play in the future of network infrastructure," said David Burns, Senior Director of Embedded Solutions at AMD. "Seeing the Ryzen Embedded V3000 power a full 5G base station highlights how AMD is helping drive compact, high-performance solutions across edge, private, and next-gen telecom markets." This announcement comes just after the AMD Adaptive & Embedded Computing Tech Day in Bengaluru, where SolidRun showcased the platform and its role in enabling modern, modular, and efficient 5G network infrastructure.
