Yes — Baxter International Inc. has documented support for Israel on record. Every claim below links to its source.
Filed under: Pharma & healthcare companies · Companies that support Israel
Background
Baxter's documented Israel connection is a single corporate acquisition: the 2019 purchase of Cheetah Medical, a hemodynamic-monitoring company with joint Boston–Tel Aviv roots, for $190 million plus milestones. Baxter also maintains registered Israeli subsidiaries that distribute its IV, renal-care and infusion products to Israeli hospitals — a normal commercial market presence rather than a form of support. This pass found no donation by Baxter or the Baxter International Foundation to Israeli causes, no political giving to pro-Israel committees, and no public company statement about the October 2023 attack; Baxter does not appear on the Yale School of Management list of companies that condemned it.
