Miami-Dade County, Florida, has unanimously approved an increase in its investment limit for Israel bonds, raising it from 3% to 5% of its portfolio. This decision followed a contentious debate, with opponents arguing the funds should be allocated to local needs rather than invested in the Israeli government. Despite the pushback, the county commission voted in favor of the measure. Proponents likely view Israel bonds as a safe and stable investment. The move signifies continued financial support for Israel from the Florida county. This increase allows for greater participation in the Israel bonds market, a financing mechanism for the State of Israel. The decision was first reported by The Times of Israel.
