Israel Bonds announced on Monday that it exceeded $2 billion in global sales in 2025, the third year in a row it has nearly doubled its typical annual totals before 2023, said Dani Naveh, president and CEO of Israel Bonds.

“This record-breaking momentum reflects sustained global confidence in Israel’s economy,” Naveh said. “Investing in Israel Bonds is both a financial decision and a meaningful way to stand with Israel and the Jewish people.”

“We play an important part in Israel’s economic resilience,” he added.

Israel Bonds said global sales “rose sharply” following the Hamas-led terrorist attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and have “remained consistently elevated” during what it described as an “increasingly hostile global climate toward the Jewish state and its supporters.

“This achievement demonstrates that the surge of support we witnessed was not a temporary response, but a true show of solidarity with Israel,” said Dr. Andrew Hutter, national and international chairman of Israel Bonds’ board of directors.

Israel Bonds are government-backed bonds issued by Israel that let individuals and institutions invest in the country’s economy while earning interest. Since its founding more than seven decades ago, Israel Bonds has generated more than $55 billion in global investment.

The announcement comes as Israel Bonds approaches its 75th anniversary in 2026 and as U.S. state investments in the bonds continue to draw political scrutiny.

In Pennsylvania, state treasurer Stacy Garrity, a Republican, announced in June that the commonwealth would invest an additional $25 million in Israel Bonds, bringing total state holdings to $64.5 million. Garrity, who is endorsed by the GOP in her race for Pennsylvania governor against incumbent Josh Shapiro, has framed the investment as “a dependable investment with a proven track record.”

James Fishback, a hedge-fund manager seeking the Republican nomination for the 2026 Florida gubernatorial race, has proposed divesting the state’s investment in Israel Bonds, criticizing it as “foolishly sent abroad to fund a foreign government.”

Florida currently has one of the largest state-level investments in Israel Bonds in the country, totaling $250 million as of March 2024.
