A while back it was announced that Amazon is working on opening a shipping hub in Israel. That has not yet happened, but they are starting to work in Israel in a different way.

According to TheMarker, Amazon is opening a local Israeli website and will have Israeli sellers selling their merchandise to the Israeli public - and maybe to elsewhere in the region.

Amazon has been sending invitations to Israeli merchants to join the program in Israel to sell their goods.

This will probably hurt independent online sellers, and maybe also a service like Zap.

This has not yet fulfilled the long-standing Zionist dream of Amazon in Israel, but its fulfillment is now definitely another step closer...
