$1 billion in private equity invested in Israel

Editor's note: Ackman is plowing serious money into Israel. When the flow of investment capital into Israel is compromised be prepared to pay the consequences. Ackman holds a 5% stake ($25 million investment in January 2024) in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange visiting Israel while Charlie Kirk was removed from the circumstances - permanently. Ackman visited Israel and rang the opening bell at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, also stating: "We will see a trillion-dollar company coming out of Israel." With Ackman's "strategic investment" in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange he has expressed strong optimism about Israel's tech ecosystem. While all the attention has been given to the removal of Charlie Kirk, don't forget Israel extrajudicially assassinated a head of state Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb Nasser al-Rahawi. Over the last 50 years, no other nation has carried out more targeted assassinations around the world — including inside Western countries — than Israel.

A Voice for Israel, A Leader in The Market - Bill Ackman Rings the Opening Bell at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) In support of Israel's Economy: "Owning an exchange is like owning a royalty on the success of a country"

September 9, 2025 | By PR Newswire

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bill Ackman, one of the world's leading capital market investors, opened trading at TASE (TASE: TASE) this morning. The event was attended by Seffy Zinger, Chairman of the Israel Securities Authority (ISA), Prof' Eugene Kandel, Chairman of the TASE Board of Directors, Ittai Ben-Zeev, TASE CEO, as well as the CEOs and chairpersons of the companies included in the TA-125 Index. Together, they marked a unique opportunity to highlight the strength of the Israeli capital market and its growing potential to expend its global reach.

Bill Ackman has served as the CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. ("Pershing Square") since its inception in 2003. He has served as Executive Chairman of the board of directors of Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. ("HHH") since May 2025.

Mr. Ackman also serves as Chairman and CEO of Pershing Square SPARC Holdings, Ltd. He is co-trustee of The Pershing Square Foundation, part of Pershing Square Philanthropies, which he founded in 2006 to bet on innovative leaders solving humanity's big societal, environmental, and health challenges.

Mr. Ackman is also a notable public figure recognized for his vocal advocacy against antisemitism and his strong support for the State of Israel, particularly since the outbreak of the "Swords of Iron" war on October 7, 2023.

Bill Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. said during the ceremony: "After October 7th, I realized there was a much bigger problem in the world. That realization came from my own university, where 34 student organizations released a letter saying that "Israel is solely responsible for the acts of Hamas," even though Hamas was still operating on Israeli soil. One of the worst days of my life was October 7th.

Owning an exchange is like owning a royalty on the success of a country. And I said very publicly at the time that I thought there's no better time to invest in Israel.

Editor's note: Charlie Kirk's evolving criticism of Israeli influence in Washington politics prompted financial and political pressure from pro-Israel investors and donors. Kirk rejected an offer from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to arrange a massive new infusion of Zionist money into his Turning Point USA organization, while billionaire investor Bill Ackman arranged an intervention in the Hamptons where he and others "hammered" Kirk for his growing criticism of Israeli influence. The pressure appears to have been motivated by concerns that Kirk's influential conservative platform could shift public opinion and political support for Israel rather than direct threats to private equity investment flows, with Kirk reportedly becoming "frightened" of the Israel lobby and concerned about potential "blackmail" following these confrontations. The threat was primarily political rather than financial - focused on preventing Kirk's influence from undermining broader conservative support for Israel. Megyn Kelly breaks down the controversy surrounding Candace Owens, Bill Ackman, Israel, and Charlie Kirk:

[BREAKING NEWS EXCLUSIVE ] - Max Blumenthal Reports: Charlie Kirk and the Israel Lobby:

Nobody is antisemitic so stop it. People generally want to know what the hell is going on? Who is going to be targeted next? Why was Ackman in Israel when Charlie Kirk was removed - permanently? 

 

Nick Fuentes breaks this down. It is alleged Bill Ackman has offered a $1 million reward (plausible denial?) for the arrest of the murderer of Charlie Kirk. That $1 million reward would then go to the father of Tyler Robinson who is accused of shooting Charlie Kirk. Whatever the network is that procured the patsy shooter Tyler Robinson he is going to be brought to an immediate trial, he will be convicted and executed within a very short period of time. Case closed. 

 

Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA was an intelligence operation from its very beginning:
