In an interview given to “Globes” last December before the Israel Business Conference, Ackman said, “From a business perspective, Israel is he best place to be at the moment.”
Throughout the war, Ackman has been one of the loudest voices supporting Israel in the US. For example, after the war with Iran broke out in June he publicly called for President Donald Trump to stand behind Israel and help destroy the Iranian nuclear threat.
