Filed under: Car & automotive brands · Companies that support Israel

Background

No recorded donations, sponsorships, investments or statements of support for Israel by Ferrari N.V. were found. Ferrari has no factory, subsidiary or venture fund in Israel. Its cars reach the market through an authorised independent dealer: Mediterranean Car Agency Ltd of Herzliya is listed on Ferrari's own dealer network as the official Ferrari dealer in Israel, and before it the market was served by Auto Italia Israel Ltd, the Ferrari and Maserati importer that opened a Tel Aviv showroom at Kardan House in 2012 and in which Dan Vehicle and Transportation (Avis Israel) agreed to invest in 2011. A dealership is a commercial franchise owned by Israeli businesses; its actions and its owners' philanthropy are not Ferrari N.V.'s. Ferrari also recognises an Israeli owners' club, founded in 2020 by Eli Halaby, which is a club of private car owners rather than a corporate programme. One frequent source of confusion should be flagged: "Ferrari Group", the freight-forwarding and logistics company that announced an exclusive Israeli partnership with D2D Val Express in 2026, is an entirely separate business from the carmaker Ferrari N.V. and its activity is not evidence about Ferrari the car company.

What we checked

• News & official statements — 2026-07-30
• SEC filings — 2026-07-30
  Ferrari N.V. files with the SEC (NYSE: RACE, CIK 1648416). Full-text 'israel' hits in its filings are conflict-minerals and generic geopolitical risk language in annual reports; no Israeli subsidiary, contract, investment or donation is disclosed.
• Nonprofit tax filings (Form 990) — 2026-07-30
  No Ferrari corporate foundation filing a US Form 990 was identified in ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer; Ferrari's giving runs through the Fondazione Ferrari in Italy, which files no US return, so there are no grant schedules to screen for Israel-linked grantees.
• Federal election records (FEC) — 2026-07-30
  FEC committee search returned no Ferrari corporate PAC; as an Italian-Dutch company Ferrari cannot direct US political contributions, and no disbursements to pro-Israel committees are attributable to it.
