Does Goldman Sachs support Israel?

Pledged $2 million to humanitarian relief following the October 7 attacks.

Matched employee donations: 3-to-1 for smaller gifts, 1-to-1 for larger gifts.

Goldman Sachs was one of five banks that underwrote the State of Israel's global dollar bond issuance in January 2026: three new series at 5, 10 and 30 years totalling $6 billion, priced at 90, 100 and 125 basis points over comparable US Treasuries, with demand of about $36 billion. The other underwriters were Bank of America, Citi, Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan. This is paid underwriting work for the Accountant General at Israel's Ministry of Finance, not a donation, and the $6 billion is the debt Israel sold to investors rather than money from Goldman Sachs, so no amount is recorded against this row.

Goldman Sachs was one of four underwriters on the State of Israel's first international dollar bond sale after the war began: $8 billion in three series (5, 10 and 30 years, at about 5.37%, 5.5% and 5.75%), then the largest dollar issuance in the state's history, drawing $38 billion of demand from about 400 investors in some 36 countries. The others were Bank of America Merrill Lynch, BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank. Underwriting is a paid mandate from the Accountant General, not a donation, and the $8 billion is the debt Israel sold rather than Goldman Sachs money, so no amount is recorded against this row.

Goldman Sachs was one of two investment banks on the June 2026 sale of D-Fend Solutions, the Ra'anana-based counter-drone defence-technology company, to Motorola Solutions for $1.5 billion in cash. ice reports that the transaction was advised by the investment banks Goldman Sachs and Jefferies, without saying which side each acted for; the shareholders were represented by the Meitar law firm. This is advisory work on the sale of an Israeli defence-technology company, not a donation, and the $1.5 billion is Motorola's purchase price, so no amount is recorded against this row.

Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives invested $400 million in Cyera on 22 September 2026, an extension of the Series G that Evolution Equity led in June, at a valuation of more than $12 billion. Israeli coverage describes Cyera as an Israeli cybersecurity company, founded in 2021 by Yotam Segev, Yonatan Itai and Tamar Bar-Ilan. The investor is Goldman Sachs Asset Management's alternatives arm deploying fund capital for equity, not a corporate gift, so no amount is recorded against this row; Irit Kahan, a managing director in the unit, spoke for it.

Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives led Armis's $435 million pre-IPO round on 5 November 2025 at a $6.1 billion valuation, with CapitalG participating and Evolution Equity Partners joining as a new investor. Israeli coverage calls Armis an Israeli cybersecurity company with offices in California and Israel, while Armis's own release gives its headquarters as California. This is fund capital invested for equity by Goldman Sachs Asset Management's alternatives arm, not a donation, so no amount is recorded against this row.

Unbound Security, the Israeli multiparty-computation cryptography company founded as Dyadic Security, whose CEO Yehuda Lindell is a Bar-Ilan University professor and which won Israel's Prime Minister's Award for Israeli Innovation in 2018, named Goldman Sachs as an investor from its Series A round of March 2017 and again among the existing investors in its $20 million Series B of November 2020. The company's own site does not say which Goldman Sachs entity held the stake, and the $20 million was the round total rather than Goldman Sachs's contribution, so no amount is recorded against this row.
