Israel Bonds has surpassed $3 billion in global sales in the six months since the Hamas terrorist attacks of Oct. 7—a sum almost three times the company’s average annual sales volume in recent years. The unprecedented sales numbers—driven by a combination of retail, institutional, and government purchases—are a telling marker of Israel’s broad international support in the United States and around the world at a critical moment.  

Since Oct. 7, more than 35 U.S. state and municipal governments have invested in Israel Bonds for a total of $1.7 billion. With $700 million invested in Israel Bonds, Palm Beach County in Florida has become the world’s largest investor in Israel Bonds. The Israel Bonds offices around the world have posted record numbers of retail investors, drawn from inside and outside the Jewish community, who have quickly mobilized to signal their support for Israel through a strong investment that offers attractive returns.

“Israel’s supporters around the world have sent a clear and powerful message with their investment dollars in the wake of October 7,” said Israel Bonds President and CEO Dani Naveh. “From the synagogue members buying bar or bat mitzvah Celebration Bonds to state treasurers making unprecedented purchases, Israel Bonds has seen a surge of investments across every category that we do business.”

“Every bondholder is a partner in Israel’s success, helping the Jewish state to navigate the unique challenges of this moment and write the next chapter in its remarkable story,” said Andrew M. Hutter, M.D., Israel Bonds national and international chairman of the board.  

Within the first 30 days after Oct. 7, Israel Bonds raised over $1 billion, marking a significant acceleration in investment compared to its typical annual total. For the year of 2023, Israel Bonds reached $2.7 billion in worldwide sales.
