Background
Azrieli Group is an Israeli company — the country's best-known shopping-mall and office landlord, listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange — so its connection to Israel is its identity rather than a matter of foreign donations. Its wartime record is unusually well itemised for an Israeli property firm, and the split between the corporation and the family foundations matters. The Azrieli Foundation and Azrieli Foundation Canada committed an emergency donation of NIS 40 million; the listed company separately reports about NIS 11 million of cash and in-kind aid, rent and management-fee relief for tenants in October and November 2023, gift cards for families evacuated to Eilat, free mall space for 27 small businesses from the affected regions, aid logistics centres in vacant properties, temporary schools, and 3,690 employee volunteering hours. In June 2026 it gave a rooftop at its Tel Aviv mall to a memorial installation about the war. Unlike several other large Israeli companies on this site, Azrieli does not appear in the UN OHCHR database of businesses linked to Israeli settlements (A/HRC/60/19, 26 September 2025). Note that the company also reported strong results through the period — 99% mall occupancy in 2023 — so the aid sits alongside, not instead of, a profitable war-years business.

Timeline of documented support
Documented support
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Donation | 2023-11 | $10,500,000 | Israeli families evacuated from the south and north, and small businesses from those regions (via the Azrieli Foundation and Azrieli Foundation Canada) Azrieli Group announced a support plan after the 7 October 2023 attack that included an emergency donation of NIS 40 million (about $10.5 million) committed through the Azrieli Foundation and Azrieli Foundation Canada. Alongside it the listed company itself reduced rent and management fees for tenants for October and November 2023, allocated mall space to displaced businesses, distributed thousands of NIS 500 gift cards to families evacuated from the north and south to Eilat, and set up temporary schools in Azrieli-owned properties. Attribution matters: the NIS 40 million came from the family foundations, while the rent relief, gift cards, space and schools came from the company. Chairwoman Danna Azrieli described it as "an extensive support plan" aimed at "strengthening the economic front throughout Israel." | |
| In-kind support | 2024 | $2,900,000 | Evacuees and displaced families, soldiers, and small businesses from the Gaza envelope and northern Israel In its ESG reporting Azrieli Group states that since the outbreak of the Swords of Iron war it mobilised assistance and donations in cash and in kind totalling approximately NIS 11 million (about $2.9 million). The reported measures include gift cards for evacuees usable across its malls, conversion of vacant space in company properties into aid logistics centres for displaced families and soldiers, hosting 27 small businesses from conflict-affected regions in group malls, donating Azrieli.com inventory, promoting the ERAN emotional first-aid helpline at its properties, and 3,690 hours of employee volunteering in the Gaza envelope and the north — assisting farmers, distributing food and supporting local industry. This is the listed company's own aid, separate from the family foundations' NIS 40 million donation. | |
| In-kind support | 2026-06-01 | — | "We Shall Rise" memorial installation by photographer Ziv Koren and writer Noam Horev Azrieli Group hosted "We Shall Rise," a 500-square-metre immersive installation of photographs documenting events from 7 October 2023 onward — destroyed kibbutzim, wounded children, returning hostages — on the rooftop of the Azrieli Tel Aviv Mall, in partnership with photographer Ziv Koren and writer Noam Horev. CEO Danna Azrieli said the mall's central location and transport links let the group put the work in front of the widest possible public. This is provision of a venue and platform by the company, not a cash donation. | |
