State of Israel
$200,000,000 4.50% Bonds due January 30, 2043
___________________
This is an offering by the State of Israel of an aggregate of $200,000,000 4.50% bonds due 2043 (the "bonds").
The bonds will constitute direct, general, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated external indebtedness of the State of
Israel. The bonds will rank without preference among themselves and equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated external
indebtedness of Israel and will be backed by the full faith and credit of Israel. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed
so as to require Israel to make payments under the bonds ratably with payments being made under any other external indebtedness of
Israel. Interest on the bonds will be payable semi-annually on January 30 and July 30 of each year, beginning on January 30, 2017.
The bonds will be issued only in denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.
This prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus constitute a prospectus for the purposes of Article 5.3 of Directive
2003/71/EC, as amended (the "Prospectus Directive").
Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the
"CSSF"), as competent authority under the Prospectus Directive, to approve this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus, as a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive. The CSSF assumes no responsibility as to the economic and
financial soundness of the transaction or the solvency of the State of Israel.
Application will be made to list the bonds on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to have the bonds admitted
to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (Bourse de Luxembourg), which is a regulated market for the
purposes of the Market in Financial Instruments Directive (2004/39/EC).
As of their issuance, the bonds will be a further issuance of, will trade interchangeably with, rank equally with and form a single
issue and series with, our 4.50% bonds due 2043 which were initially issued on January 31, 2013 and of which there are currently
$1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding. Following the issuance of the bonds offered by this prospectus supplement,
the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 4.50% bonds due 2043 will be $1,700,000,000.
See the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-9 for a discussion of certain factors you should consider before
investing in the bonds.
The bonds will be designated collective action securities and will, therefore, contain "collective action clauses" regarding
meetings of holders, acceleration of the bonds in an event of default and future modifications to the terms of the bonds. Some of these
provisions differ from those applicable to certain other series of bonds issued by the State.
Under the provisions applicable to the bonds, which are described beginning on page 9 of the accompanying prospectus, Israel
may amend the payment provisions of the bonds, including the principal amount and interest rate, and take certain other actions, in
each case with the consent of the holders of 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding bonds.

RISK FACTORS
You should read this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents
incorporated by reference herein carefully. Words and expressions defined elsewhere in this prospectus supplement
or the accompanying prospectus have the same meaning in this section. Investing in the bonds involves certain risks.
Factors which are material for assessing the market risks associated with the bonds are described below. You
should consult with your financial, tax, legal, accounting and other advisors, prior to deciding whether to make an
investment in the bonds.
Risks related to the State of Israel and the geopolitical and economic environment
External factors including regional and international political and economic conditions may adversely affect the
trading price of the bonds and Israel's access to credit.
Israel's access to credit in the international capital markets is affected by regional and international political and
economic conditions, including interest rates in financial markets outside Israel, the impact of changes in the credit
rating of Israel, the security situation, the economic growth and stability of Israel's major trading partners, and the
global high-tech market. As a result, political, economic or market factors, which may be outside Israel's control,
may impact the debt dynamics of Israel and could adversely affect Israel's cost of funds in the international capital
markets and the liquidity of and demand for Israel's debt securities, including the bonds. In addition, any negative
change in the credit rating of Israel could adversely affect the trading price of Israel's debt securities, including the
bonds.
Israel's political, economic and military environment may continue to be volatile.
Israel has from time to time experienced political situations and has been subject to ongoing security concerns.
Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and
its Arab neighbors. Political instability in the Middle East has increased since the terrorist attacks of September 11,
2001 and news of Iran's reported nuclear program. Since 2005, when Israel withdrew from the Gaza strip, terrorist
violence from Gaza has increased. If the level of instability and violence increases in the future, Israel's capital
markets, the level of tourism in Israel and foreign investment in Israel, among other things, may suffer. The conflicts
with Hamas in the Gaza strip and with Hezbollah in Lebanon may worsen and potentially affect Israel's economic
condition. In addition, political volatility may affect the stability of the Israeli economy.
Since January 2011, there have been varying degrees of political instability and public protests within Middle
Eastern and North African countries including (without limitation) Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Tunisia and
Yemen. This unrest resulted in the removal of long-standing leadership in several of the aforementioned countries
and created turbulent political situations in others. The delicate relations between Israel and its neighbors could
become even more fragile with the domestic turmoil and change in regimes. Although such instances of instability
in the Middle East have not materially affected Israel's financial or political situation as of the date of this
prospectus supplement, and Israel believes that countries that have signed peace agreements with Israel remain
committed to them, regardless of internal political developments, there can be no assurance that such instability in
the region will not escalate in the future, that such instability will not spread to additional countries in the region,
that current or new governments in the region will be successful in maintaining domestic order and stability, or that
Israel's financial or political situation will not be affected thereby. This uncertainty is highlighted by recent fighting
in Syria and Iraq, where an Islamist militia group known as ISIS (Islamist State in Iraq and Syria) is challenging the
territorial boundaries of both states.
Israel is a foreign sovereign state and accordingly it may be difficult to obtain or enforce judgments against it.
Israel is a sovereign state. Although Israel has waived its sovereign immunity in respect of the bonds, except for
its sovereign immunity in connection with any actions arising out of or based on United States federal or state
securities laws, enforcement in the event of a default may nevertheless be impracticable by virtue of legal,
commercial, political or other considerations.
Because Israel has not waived its sovereign immunity in connection with any action arising out of or based on
United States federal or state securities laws, it will not be possible to obtain a United States judgment against Israel
