essxjay - this is mostly just for curiosity's sake, but do you happen to know where your cousin is going to live while he's working at the Kiryat Gat fab?
I have family friends who live there, and I was fortunate enough to get a tour of the fab a couple of years ago. It's a big deal for Kiryat Gat to have the facility there, but my recollection is that a huge chunk of the employees commute. I was just curious as to whether a person like your cousin had been encouraged to live nearby/elsewhere, etc.
