BROWARD COUNTY, FL- Broward County is looking to increase its investment in Israeli bonds in a show of continued support for the State of Israel. 

The County currently holds $5 million dollars in Israeli bonds.  These bonds directly benefit the State of Israel and provide necessary funding for its governments' use. The bonds are purchased from the Development Corporation for Israel, commonly known as Israel Bonds, who acts as the broker for all bonds issued by the Israeli government.

"Broward County is on the record in support of Israel as our current investment portfolio indicates.  Investing in Israeli bonds sends a message of good will and provides additional financial resources to help the people of Israel," said Broward County Mayor Lamar P. Fisher.  

Israel Bonds has sold more than $200 million worth of bonds since Hamas' deadly massacres in Israel.  At least $150 million of the bond purchases came from U.S. states and local governments.  

Broward County joins other counties in Florida and across the United States that have invested in Israeli bonds to help every sector of Israel's economy.
