Israel is selling itself. While the headlines stay locked on Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, Israel's Government Companies Authority has quietly been running the most concentrated state-asset sale Israel has seen in over a decade. The international press is omitting this. Israel Post was sold in Nov 2024 to a private consortium led by Milgam. First time in the country's history the post is in private hands. Haifa Port has sold 70% to India's Adani Ports. The Chinese state operator runs the new Bay terminal. The Swiss-owned MSC affiliate runs Ashdod South. Two of three Israeli commercial ports now sit under foreign operators. Israel Electric Corp's four of six power plants sold to private operators. Eshkol alone went for $3.3 billion. Retail electricity competition opened in 2024. The grid operator was carved off into its own company. IEC now generates less than half of national electricity. That's a country quietly dismantling the state capitalism it ran for fifty years. Just this quarter, Israel Aerospace Industries and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, are both getting listed on Tel Aviv stock exchange. Initial 25–30% tranches. That's an entire defense-industrial complex moving from sealed government books onto the public market, into the strongest defense bid this generation has seen. This is what fiscal monetization looks like at the asset level. Israel needs the cash and its privatizing. This is the Israel ETF today. 4 of the top 10 holdings are privatized state banks. Phoenix (3.1%) is one of the buyers of Israel Post. Defense is 6.1% with one name, Elbit. IAI and Rafael are not on this chart yet. They will be by the end of Q2.
