State Of Israel Government Compensation Fund Has Since 2023 Paid US$10 Billion To One Million Claimants For War Damages- Not One Shekel To An Inhabitant Of Gaza 

Muslim-Led Governments Continue To Do Nothing To Force Government Israel To Compensate For Death And Destruction Caused By IDF In Gaza- 70,000+ Dead, 170,000+ Injured, 90%+ Structures Damaged Or Destroyed 

Why Governments (Taxpayers) In Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Egypt, European Union, Indonesia, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, And United Arab Emirates Seem Eager To Pay US$50 Billion For What The IDF Has Done In Gaza?   

Heads Of State And Heads Of Government Speak Passionately, Talk Tough, And Threaten.  They Recoil From Categorically Refusing To Pay Anything 

Why Has Not Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and United Arab Emirates Suspended Diplomatic Relations With State Of Israel?

Since October 2023, the government of the State of Israel Compensation Fund has paid approximately one million claimants (individuals and businesses) more than thirty million Shekels (approximately US$10 billion) for war damage relief. 

The government of the State of Israel has refused to compensation to inhabitants (individuals and businesses) in the internationally-recognized territory of Gaza.  The Trump-Vance Administration (2025-2029) is aligned with the government of the State of Israel in embracing OPM- other people’s money. 

Muslim-led governments with Muslim-majority populations have done nothing to force the government of the State of Israel to provide compensation.  

  • In 2025, the Washington DC-based International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated the Israel has the 25th largest economy with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at US$578 billion. 

  • In 2026, the government of the State of Israel has approximately US$234 billion in foreign exchange reserves.  The reserves represent approximately 38% of GDP. 

“Israel’s compensation fund, a tax-agency department providing financial relief to civilians and businesses for property damage inflicted during wars, has deployed dozens of teams across the nation to assess damage at sites impacted by missiles and rockets fired from Iran and by Hezbollah, its Lebanon-based proxy.  Since the Hamas attacks in October 2023, the fund says it has handled about 1 million claims and made roughly 30 billion shekels ($10 billion) in payments- equal to about 1.5% of Israel’s GDP.” 

“Who is the system intended for:Citizens or residents of Israel whose property has been damaged due to hostilities or war 

Through legislation, the State of Israel has undertaken to compensate its citizens for direct and indirect damages caused as a result of acts of hostility or war operations.  The compensation is made under the Property Tax and Compensation Fund Law, 1961.  Under the same law, compensations are also paid for damages caused by drought in different geographic regions.

The Israel Compensation Fund, managed by the Tax Authority, compensates residents and businesses for direct (property) and indirect (economic) damages caused by war or hostilities under the Property Tax and Compensation Fund Law, 1961. Claims for damages, including to homes, vehicles, and businesses, can be filed online via the Gov.il website or by phone at *4954. 

Key Aspects of the Compensation Fund: Direct Damages: Covers damage to buildings, furniture, household items, and vehicles.  Indirect Damages: Covers loss of income or profit for businesses impacted by war (e.g., in the "Swords of Iron" war).  Fast-Track Claims: For damages up to 30,000 NIS, a fast-track option is available, which may be approved within seven days without an appraiser.  Emergency Response: Teams and engineers operate on-site to inspect damage, especially in areas like the Gaza Envelope.  Payment Process: If a decision isn't made within 21 days, a 60% advance payment may be issued, with further options at 150 days.   

How to File a Claim: Online: Visit the online claim form on the Israel Tax Authority website.  Required Info: Identify with a password, ID card number, and issue date.  Damage Inspection: Do not repair significant damage before an inspector from the Compensation Fund arrives, though cleaning is allowed.   

Other Support Services: Evacuation: Local authorities arrange for evaluation and relocation to hotels for residents with uninhabitable homes.  Special Grants: The fund covers "organization grants" for affected citizens.
