Israel Names U.S. Jewish billionaires as Key Funders of Gaza Genocide.
U.S. Billionaires Identified as Major Backers of Israeli Aid and Infrastructure Efforts.
As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to escalate, growing attention is being directed toward a group of influential U.S.-based billionaires who have contributed significantly to Israeli institutions, civil society, and defense-related causes.
Among the most prominent is former New York City mayor and business magnate Michael Bloomberg, who has donated over $27.8 million in recent years to various Israeli initiatives. One of his major projects includes funding the reconstruction of 65 municipalities affected by ongoing regional conflict.
Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle and a known philanthropist, has also long supported Israeli organizations, including Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, and initiatives aimed at strengthening border-town resilience. His contributions have played a role in improving infrastructure and civilian support networks in areas near conflict zones.
Bill Ackman, a hedge fund manager and high-profile figure in the U.S. business world, has used his platform to support public discourse surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Ackman has reportedly helped organize briefings and events aimed at influencing policy discussions and public opinion.
Other major donors include:
▫️Jan Koum, co-founder of WhatsApp
▫️Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Technologies
▫️Marc Benioff, chairman of Salesforce and owner of TIME magazine
These figures have provided financial backing to various Israeli programs spanning from emergency services and civilian support efforts to media and political advocacy.
Critics argue that such philanthropic contributions—while often framed as humanitarian—can also have broader political implications. By supporting defense and media infrastructure, they say, these donors may be reinforcing existing power dynamics and influencing global narratives surrounding the conflict.
On the other hand, supporters of these initiatives assert that their contributions help protect civilian lives, rebuild communities, and support Israel’s right to self-defense amid an increasingly volatile regional situation.
The debate continues over how philanthropy intersects with politics, especially in conflicts as deeply rooted and emotionally charged as that between Israel and Palestine. As global attention remains fixed on the crisis, the role of private donors in shaping policy and public perception is becoming an increasingly important topic of discussion.
