São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Dimona is a city of about 60,000 people in the Negev Desert in southern Israel, about 35 kilometers from Beersheba. The city is known for the establishment of the Negev Nuclear Research Center in 1958, known as the "Dimona Nuclear Facility", which is the core of Israel's nuclear program and has long been regarded as a state secret, with limited details of its activities known to the outside world. In addition to nuclear energy-related industries, Dimona has also been developing solar energy and other clean energy technologies in recent years, and has become an important node for new energy research and development in Israel, relying on the desert's abundant light resources. The city's planning focuses on livability, with well-developed community facilities and educational resources, making it one of the relatively prosperous residential and technological centers in the Negev desert region.
