Yes — Tencent Holdings Limited has documented support for Israel on record. Every claim below links to its source.
Filed under: Tech companies · Entertainment & media companies · Companies that support Israel
Background
Tencent's one documented direct tie to Israel is its participation in One Zero digital bank's 2021 funding round. Other frequently cited links need precise attribution: the 2015 Singulariteam venture fund in Tel Aviv was backed by Tencent co-founders personally, not by Tencent Holdings; and reports in July 2026 that Tencent was in talks to buy Israeli game studio SuperPlay from Playtika for $1-1.5 billion remained unconfirmed negotiations with no completed deal. Tencent's games and apps being sold or distributed in Israel is ordinary commerce, not support.
