GAZA (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime has sold a record amount of debt in the U.S. since its war on Gaza erupted on October 7, 2023, according to a report by Bloomberg. 
The Zionist regime’s U.S.-based bond broker, Israel Bonds, says it has sold $5bn worth of debt in the last twenty months. The level of bond issuance is more than double that raised by Israel Bonds, in similar time periods previously.
The Zionist regime’s war on Gaza started on October 7, 2023, which pummeled the Gaza Strip. More than 54,000 people, mainly women and children, have been killed in the Zionist regime’s attacks, and the population is facing “imminent famine”, the United Nations says. 
Israel Bonds is affiliated with the occupying regime’s finance ministry and sells bonds inside the U.S. to both retail and institutional investors. The starting price for non-tradable retail Israeli bonds is as low as $36. 
A five-year Israeli bond has a yield between 4.86 percent and 5.44 percent, according to the Bloomberg report. 
Along with its war on Gaza, the Zionist regime fought a devastating war with Hezbollah in Lebanon and launched widespread strikes on Syria. In 2024, it engaged in two rounds of direct missile and drone attacks with Iran. The Zionist regime’s financing needs have soared as it looks to fund its military.  
Local Israeli creditors, including deep-pocketed institutional ones, account for about 80 percent of the regime’s lending overall. That leaves just twenty percent to come from international debt sales and what Israel Bonds sells in the U.S.
According to the group, local U.S. governments at the state and county level are big buyers in places like New York, Texas, Ohio, and Illinois. 
Palm Beach County in Florida became one of the world’s largest investors in Israeli Bonds in 2024, with about $700m of its $4.67bn portfolio invested there. 
The Zionist regime has faced widespread criticism for its war on Gaza. The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former war minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes. Meanwhile, public opinion on Israel has turned sharply negative from France to Japan.
