Ofra Strauss, chairwoman of the Strauss Group, spoke at the Jerusalem Post Women Leaders Summit in April 2026. She paid tribute to Israeli women who "just show up" daily to keep the country's factories, hospitals, and businesses operating during wartime. Strauss stated that "the shelves are always stocked and the factories are working and the logistics is really getting to every point of Israel to make sure that it's not only food security, it's the security of this country." Strauss also addressed the broader geopolitical situation, expressing hope that "politicians around the world and in our region will understand that doing things together is the right solution at the end."
