Editor’s Note
This article reports on a significant financial move by Kushner Companies, a firm with notable political connections. The decision to raise funds via Israel’s bond market is a new strategic step for the company.
Kushner Companies, a real estate development firm run by relatives of Jared Kushner, son-in-law and senior advisor to former U.S. President Donald Trump, has filed documents to issue bonds in Israel to raise at least $100 million (approximately ¥10.4 billion). This marks the first time Kushner Companies will raise funds in Israel’s bond market and represents the largest unsecured fundraising effort in the company’s history. The company holds billions of dollars worth of commercial real estate in the United States, including apartment complexes and office buildings.
The company submitted documents to the Israel Securities Authority (ISA) this month and plans to list the bonds on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. In the past, the company has secured funding from Israeli banks and investors through other means.
