Fiverr is identified as a Tier-1 Strategic National Asset of Israel, functioning as a Dual-Use Logistics and Surveillance Node deeply fused with the Israeli military-industrial complex. Post-Oct 7, 2023, it activated a "national service" protocol, converting its HQ into a command center for procuring tactical military equipment. Its digital infrastructure, including biometric data collection via Shin Bet-linked AU10TIX and participation in Project Nimbus, poses a significant surveillance risk to global users, consolidating identity intelligence within Israeli jurisdiction.

Apple Inc. is described as a structural pillar of Israel's technology and defense ecosystem, showing high integration and severe complicity. Its "Apple Silicon" R&D heavily relies on Israeli operations, linked to IDF intelligence, creating vendor lock-in. Apple hardware is operationalized by the IDF for "Blue Wolf" biometric surveillance of Palestinians, with Apple maintaining developer certificates. The company also forms the IT backbone for the Israeli Ministry of Defense and boosts the local high-tech sector.
