Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) is looking into a possible expansion into Israel, the office of the country's Prime Minister said on Tuesday. 
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Oracle (ORCL) is weighing additional growth in Israel after Netanyahu met with the company's CEO, Safra Catz, Reuters reported.
Netanyahu and Catz also discussed artificial intelligence, the news outlet added.
Oracle (ORCL) did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha.
If Oracle (ORCL) were to expand further into Israel, it would become the second U.S. tech company to do so in short order. Earlier this week, Netanyahu announced that Intel (INTC) would be building a plant in the country, with an investment reported to be worth $25B.
Last week, Oracle (ORCL) said it intends to develop powerful, generative AI services for organizations worldwide, working with Cohere on the matter.
Cohere recently raised $270M in venture funding from a number of investors, including Oracle.
On the company's most recent earnings call, CTO and founder Larry Ellison said Oracleâs Gen2 Cloud has become "the number one choice for running Generative AI workloads."
