$1,000,000,000 4.500% Bonds due April 3, 2120


This is an offering by the State of Israel ("Israel" or the "State of Israel") of an aggregate of $2,000,000,000 2.750% bonds due 2030 (the
"2030 bonds"), $2,000,000,000 3.875% bonds due 2050 (the "2050 bonds") and $1,000,000,000 4.500% bonds due 2120 (the "2120 bonds" and,
together with the 2030 bonds and the 2050 bonds, 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 to require Israel to make payments under the
bonds ratably with payments being made under any other external indebtedness of Israel. Interest on the 2030 bonds will be payable semi-annually
on January 3 and July 3 of each year, beginning on July 3, 2020. Interest on the 2050 bonds will be payable semi-annually on January 3 and July 3
of each year, beginning on July 3, 2020. Interest on the 2120 bonds will be payable semi-annually on April 3 and October 3 of each year, beginning

Application will be made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the "CSSF"), as
competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation, to approve this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus as a prospectus for
the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation. 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 (2014/65/EU) (as amended, "MiFID II").

See the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-7 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 of Israel. Under the provisions applicable to the bonds, which are described beginning
on page 5 of the accompanying prospectus, Israel may amend the payment provisions of the bonds and other "reserve matters" with the consent of
the holders of: (1) with respect to a single series of bonds, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of such series; (2) with
respect to two or more series of bonds, if certain "uniformly applicable" requirements are met, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding bonds of all series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate; or (3) with respect to two or more series of bonds,
whether or not the "uniformly applicable" requirements are met, more than 662/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding bonds of
all series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate, and more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
bonds of each series affected by the proposed modification, taken individually.

S-4



Collective Action Securities

The bonds will be designated Collective Action Securities under the Fiscal Agency
Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto,

amend the payment provisions of the bonds and other "reserve matters" with the
consent of the holders of: (1) with respect to a single series of debt securities, more

aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by
the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate, and more than 50% of the aggregate

them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the bonds.


S-5



Further Issuances

From time to time, without the consent of holders of the bonds, and subject to the
required approvals under Israeli law, Israel may create and issue additional debt
securities with the same terms and conditions as those of the bonds (or the same
except for the amount of the first interest payment); provided that, if such additional
debt securities are not fungible with the outstanding bonds for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, such additional debt securities will have a separate CUSIP or other
identifying number. See "Description of the Bonds -- Further Issuances of Debt
Securities of a Series."



Governing Law

The bonds will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, except with respect
to the authorization and execution of the bonds, which will be governed by the laws of
the State of Israel.



Risk Factors

There are certain risks relating to the issue of the bonds, which investors should ensure
they fully understand. See "Risk Factors."

Where a claim relating to the information contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is brought before a
court, the plaintiff investor might, under the national legislation of the place of jurisdiction, have to bear the costs of translating this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus before the legal proceedings are initiated.


S-6



RISK FACTORS

You should read this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and
therein 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 that are material for assessing the market risks associated with the bonds are
described below. You should consult 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
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/52749/000110465920041869/tm2014106-6_424b5.htm[4/2/2020 9:05:32 AM]


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 global, regional and Israeli
security situations, 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 situations may affect the stability of the
Israeli economy.

Since January 2011, there has been political instability and civil unrest in numerous Middle Eastern and North African countries, including
Bahrain, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Syria. This unrest has resulted in the removal of long-standing leadership in several of these countries
and created turbulent political situations in others.

As Israel is situated in this region, it closely monitors these events, aiming to protect its economic, political and security interests. The delicate
relations between Israel and its neighbors could become even more fragile with the domestic turmoil and change in regimes. Instability in the
Middle East and North Africa region have so far not materially affected Israel's financial or political situation, and countries that have signed peace
agreements with Israel have remained committed to them, regardless of internal political developments.

Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that instability in the region will not escalate in the future or will not spread to additional countries in
the region. Military efforts have significantly decreased the presence of the Islamist militia group known as ISIS in Syria and Iraq, but there is
growing concern regarding Shiite militias taking control over the relinquished territory and the creation of a land corridor from Tehran to the
Mediterranean under Iranian influence.

In 2019, there were two general elections; however, after each election, a coalition government was not formed by the deadline. A third
election was held in March 2020, and as of the date of this prospectus supplement, a coalition government has not been formed. As a result,
Israel's current government is a transitional government and therefore certain of its decision-making powers are limited. There is a risk that this
current political situation, which limits the government's ability to enact reforms and requires the adoption of the last approved budget, may have a
negative impact on Israel's economy. This risk will continue until a new government is formed.


S-7



The worldwide economic effects of the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) could adversely affect Israel's economy.

In December 2019, the emergence of a new strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China that has
subsequently spread throughout the world, including Israel. On January 30, 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus (COVID-19)
a public health emergency of international concern and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus (COVID-19) a
global pandemic. The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is currently having an adverse impact on the global economy, the severity and duration of
which is difficult to predict.

To prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), Israel has imposed travel restrictions and mandatory self-quarantining, closed schools and
universities, prohibited gatherings of more than 10 people. On March 14, 2020, the Prime Minister announced additional restrictions on economic
activity, including the closure of educational institutions, leisure activities, and limiting public transportation. In addition, non-essential businesses
that employ 10 or more employees were limited to 30% of their workforce. Essential services such as grocery stores, health services and pharmacies
continue to operate normally.

Currently the trajectory of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak remains highly uncertain and we cannot predict the duration, severity or
effect of the pandemic or any future containment efforts. There is a risk that the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) and the measures taken to
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/52749/000110465920041869/tm2014106-6_424b5.htm[4/2/2020 9:05:32 AM]


contain its spread, including instituting a lockdown that has resulted in businesses slowing or shuttering operations, may continue to have adverse
effects on Israel's economy and financial markets, including an economic recession.

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 based on such laws unless a court were to determine that
Israel is not entitled under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended, to sovereign immunity with respect to such
actions.

The current global economic climate and continued economic disruption in Europe may have an adverse effect on Israel's economy.

Israel's economy is affected by global economic conditions, including regional and international rates of economic growth. Recent
developments in the global economy, including the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, have led to increased market
volatility and decreased consumer confidence. The potential impact of these developments on the Israeli economy is uncertain.

Although Israel's economy has shown moderate rates of growth in recent years, there can be no assurance that Israel's economy will continue
to grow in the case of a prolonged negative global economic climate.

As a result of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, there was significant price volatility in the secondary market for sovereign debt of European
and other nations at the beginning of this decade. If such price volatility resumes, it could lead to a decline in the recoverability and value of the
market price of Israel's debt securities, including the bonds. Sluggish economic growth or negative growth in the European Union, which is one of
Israel's major trading partners, could have a material adverse impact on Israel's balance of trade and adversely affect Israel's financial condition.

The successful development of Israel's natural gas reserves involves certain risks that may make expected natural gas production levels
unobtainable.

There are numerous uncertainties associated with estimating quantities of natural gas reserves and projecting future rates of production and the
level of revenue Israel will receive from its natural gas fields. These items are, in part, dependent on the reliability of seismic measurement
technologies and the future international market for natural gas and other energy substitutes, as well as future development and operating costs, all
of which may vary considerably from Israel's current assumptions. Moreover, certain of Israel's neighboring countries have asserted mineral rights
with respect to certain natural gas reserves to which Israel currently lays claim. Any failure to meet expected natural gas production targets on the
forecasted timelines, or at all, could have a negative impact on Israel's progress towards energy independence or the revenues that will be received
by the State of Israel.

Risks related to the bonds.

The bonds may not be a suitable investment for all investors.

You must determine the suitability of investment in the bonds in light of your own circumstances. In particular, you should:

(1) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the bonds and the merits and risks of investing in the
bonds;

(2) have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of your particular financial situation, an
investment in the bonds and the impact the bonds will have on your overall investment portfolio;

(3) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the bonds, including where the currency
for principal or interest payments is different from your currency;

(4) understand thoroughly the terms of the bonds and be familiar with the behavior of any relevant indices and financial markets; and

(5) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial advisor) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other
factors that may affect your investment and your ability to bear the applicable risks.

There is no assurance that active secondary markets for the bonds will develop.

The bonds are new securities for which there currently are no public markets. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for any
series of the bonds will develop, or, if one does develop, that it will be maintained. If an active trading market for any series of the bonds does not
develop or is not maintained, the market or trading price and liquidity of such series of the bonds may be adversely affected. If the bonds are traded
after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount to their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for
similar securities, recommendations from securities analysts, general economic conditions and the financial condition of the State of Israel.
Although an application will be made to list and trade the bonds on the Regulated Market "Bourse de Luxembourg" of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange, there is no assurance that such application will be accepted. Even if the bonds are approved for listing and trading by the Regulated
Market "Bourse de Luxembourg" of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, active trading markets for the bonds on the Regulated Market "Bourse de
Luxembourg" of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange may not develop or, even if they develop, may not last, in which case the trading price of the
bonds could be adversely affected and your ability to transfer the bonds will be limited.

The bonds contain provisions that permit Israel to amend the payment terms and take certain other actions without the consent of all holders.

The bonds contain provisions regarding acceleration and voting on amendments, modifications, changes and waivers, which are commonly
referred to as "collective action clauses." For a description of the collective action clauses applicable to the bonds, see "Debt Securities --
Collective Action Securities Issued On or After January 5, 2016 -- Meetings and Amendments; Modifications" in the accompanying prospectus.
Certain of these actions may be taxable events requiring holders to recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See "Taxation --
United States" in this prospectus supplement.

There can be no assurance that the laws of the State of New York in effect as of the date of this prospectus supplement will not be modified.

The terms and conditions of the bonds will be governed by the laws of the State of New York in effect as of the date of this prospectus
supplement. There can be no assurance as to the impact of any possible judicial decision or change to New York law or administrative practice
after the date of this prospectus supplement.

Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments.

The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain
authorities. You should consult your legal advisors to determine whether and to what extent (i) the bonds are a legal investment for you, (ii) the
bonds can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing and (iii) other restrictions apply to your purchase or pledge of any bonds. Financial
institutions should consult their legal advisors or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of the bonds under any
applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.

The trading market for debt securities may be volatile and may be adversely impacted by many events.

The market for the bonds issued by the State of Israel is influenced by economic and market conditions and, to varying degrees, interest rates,
currency exchange rates and inflation rates in the United States, Europe and other industrialized countries. There can be no assurance that events in
Israel, the United States, Europe or elsewhere will not cause market volatility or that such volatility will not adversely affect the price of the bonds
or that economic and market conditions will not have any other adverse effect. Investors in the bonds may be subject to interest rate risks.
Investment in fixed rate bonds involves the risk that subsequent changes in market interest rates may adversely affect the value of the fixed rate
bonds.

The bonds are unsecured.

The bonds constitute unsecured obligations of the State of Israel.
