Snippet:
In January 2024, Ackman and his wife, Neri Oxman, made their first investment in Israel, buying a 4.9% stake in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange for about $25 million. In September 2025, Ackman made what he described as his first business trip to Israel, spending roughly a week meeting bank executives, insurers, institutional investors, venture capitalists, and the country’s political leadership.
