Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company to Israel or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as requested by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company and any payment is made to Cede & Co., ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL since the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

THE STATE OF ISRAEL

4.500% Bonds Due 2031

$[●]

The State of Israel ("Israel"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [●] MILLION United States Dollars ($[●]) on January 13, 2031 and to pay interest thereon from January 13, 2026, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on January 13 and July 13 in each year, commencing July 13, 2026 (each an "Interest Payment Date"), at the rate of 4.500% per annum until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement hereinafter referred to, be paid to the person (the "registered holder") in whose name this Bond (or one or more predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on December 30 or June 29 (whether or not a business day), as the case may be (each a "Regular Record Date"), next preceding such Interest Payment Date at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Interest shall be paid on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Bond (or one or more predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such interest to be fixed by Israel, notice whereof shall be given to registered holders of Bonds of this series not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Bonds of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange.

This Bond is a permanent book-entry security evidencing a duly authorized issue of securities of Israel (including this Bond, herein called the "Bonds") and is governed by the provisions of a Fiscal Agency Agreement dated as of March 13, 2000, between Israel and Citibank, N.A., as Fiscal Agent (herein called the "Fiscal Agent", which term includes any successor fiscal agent under the Fiscal Agency Agreement), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2004 and Amendment No. 2 to Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2016 (as so amended, the "Fiscal Agency Agreement"). The Bonds are subject to collective action clauses, set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Bond shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires.

Principal of this Bond shall be payable against surrender hereof at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent hereinafter referred to or at such other offices or agencies as Israel may designate and at the offices of such other Paying Agents as Israel shall have appointed pursuant to the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Payments of principal of this Bond shall be made against surrender of registered Bonds, and payments of interest on this Bond shall be made, in accordance with the foregoing and subject to applicable laws and regulations, by check mailed on or before the due date for such payment to the person entitled thereto at such person's address appearing on the aforementioned register or, in the case of payments of principal to such other address as the registered holder may specify upon such surrender; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any payments shall be made, in the case of a registered holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds, by transfer of same-day funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if such registered holder so elects by giving notice to the Fiscal Agent, not less than 15 days (or fewer days as the Fiscal Agent may accept at its discretion) prior to the date of the payments to be obtained, of such election and of the account to which payments are to be made. Israel covenants that until this Bond has been delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation, or monies sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on this Bond have been made available for payment and either paid or returned to Israel as provided herein, it will at all times maintain offices or agencies in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as herein provided.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Bond set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Fiscal Agent by manual signature, this Bond shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Israel has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

[*Signature Page to State of Israel 4.500% Bond due 2031 No. [●]*]

This is one of the Bonds of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Fiscal Agency Agreement.

CITIBANK, N.A., as Fiscal Agent, <br> <br> By  

[*Signature Page to State of Israel 4.500% Bond due 2031 No. [●]*]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. This Bond is a permanent book-entry security evidencing a duly authorized issue of securities of Israel, issued and to be issued in one or more series in accordance with a Fiscal Agency Agreement, copies of which Fiscal Agency Agreement are on file and available for inspection at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in The City of London, England. This Bond is a permanent book-entry security evidencing the Bond of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $[●].

The Bonds constitute and will constitute direct, general, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness of Israel for which the full faith and credit of Israel is pledged. The Bonds rank and will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness of Israel. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require Israel to make payments under the Bonds ratably with payments being made under any other External Indebtedness.

"<u>External Indebtedness</u>" means Indebtedness that is payable by its terms or at the option of its holder in any currency other than the currency of Israel (other than any such Indebtedness that is originally issued within Israel).

"<u>Guarantee</u>" includes a suretyship or any other arrangement whereby the respective party is directly or indirectly responsible for any External Indebtedness of another Person.

"<u>Indebtedness</u>" means all unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Israel in respect of money borrowed and Guarantees given by Israel in respect of money borrowed by others.

"<u>Person</u>" means an individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization or any other juridical entity, including without limitation a government or governmental body or agency or instrumentality or any international organization or agency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. The Bonds are issuable in fully registered form. Bonds are issuable in the authorized denomination of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Except as set forth in this Paragraph 3, the Bonds are issuable only as fully registered book-entry securities, without coupons, each registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, a nominee thereof or a successor to The Depository Trust Company, or a nominee thereof, and (i) no book-entry security may be transferred, except in whole and not in part, and only to The Depository Trust Company, one or more nominees of The Depository Trust Company or one or more respective successors of The Depository Trust Company and its nominees, and (ii) no book-entry security may be exchanged for any Bond other than another book-entry security. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or this book-entry security, a book-entry security may be exchanged for registered Bonds registered in the name of a person other than The Depository Trust Company, a nominee of The Depository Trust Company or a successor of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee if (i) The Depository Trust Company notifies Israel that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such book-entry security or ceases at any time to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) Israel, in its sole discretion, instructs the Fiscal Agent in writing that a book-entry security shall be so transferable and exchangeable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default with respect to the Bonds evidenced by this book-entry security. Registered Bonds issued in exchange for this book-entry security will be registered in such names, and issued in such denominations (of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount), as an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company shall request.

Israel shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Bonds may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. Israel has initially appointed the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent as its agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purpose and agrees to cause to be kept at such office a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, Israel will provide for the registration of Bonds and registration of transfers of Bonds. Israel reserves the right to vary or terminate the appointment of the Fiscal Agent as security registrar or to appoint additional or other registrars or to approve any change in the office through which any security registrar acts, provided that there will at all times be a security registrar in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

The transfer of a Bond is registrable on the aforementioned register upon surrender of such Bond at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to Israel and the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the registered holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer, Israel shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the registered holder upon request confirmed in writing, Bonds may be exchanged for Bonds of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor, form and aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent. Whenever any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, Israel shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the bonds that the registered holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Any registration of transfer or exchange will be effected upon the Fiscal Agent being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as Israel may from time to time agree with the Fiscal Agent.

All Bonds issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be the valid obligations of Israel, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Bonds surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but Israel may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, other than an exchange in connection with a partial redemption of a Bond not involving any registration of a transfer.

Prior to due presentment of this Bond for registration of transfer, Israel, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of Israel or the Fiscal Agent may treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Bond be overdue, and neither Israel nor the Fiscal Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. (a) Israel shall pay to the Fiscal Agent at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, on or prior to the opening of business on each Interest Payment Date and the maturity date of the Bonds, in such amounts sufficient (with any amounts then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for the purpose) to pay the interest on, and the principal of, the Bonds due and payable on such Interest Payment Date or maturity date, as the case may be. The Fiscal Agent shall apply the amounts so paid to it to the payment of such interest and principal in accordance with the terms of the Bonds and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, including any payments to any Paying Agents as required thereby. Any monies paid by Israel to the Fiscal Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bonds and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or otherwise) shall then be repaid to Israel upon its written request, and upon such repayment all liability of the Fiscal Agent with respect thereto shall cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation Israel may have to pay the principal of and interest on this Bond as the same shall become due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bond shall be at any place of payment a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on such date at such place but may be made on the next succeeding day at such place that is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. (a) All payments of principal and interest, if any, made by Israel in respect of the Bonds will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, fees, funds, assessments or other charges of whatsoever nature levied or imposed by or on behalf of Israel or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, Israel shall pay such additional amounts as will result in receipt by the holders of Bonds of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no additional amounts shall be payable in respect of any Bonds (a) to a holder (or to a third party on behalf of a holder) where such holder is liable for such taxes, duties, fees, funds, assessments or charges in respect of such Bonds by reason of having some connection with Israel other than the mere holding of the Bonds; or (b) presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the holder of such Bonds would have been entitled to such additional amounts on presenting such Bonds for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days. For purposes hereof, "Relevant Date" means whichever is the later of (a) the date on which such payment first becomes due and (b) if the full amount payable has not been received in The City of New York by the Fiscal Agent on or prior to such due date, the date on which, the full amount having been so received, notice to that effect shall have been given to the holders of the Bonds.

Israel shall pay all transfer, stamp, documentary and other similar taxes or duties, if any, which may be imposed by Israel, the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority of or in the foregoing with respect to the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the issuance of this Bond.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Whenever in this Bond there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of or interest on, or in respect of, any Bond, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided for in Paragraph 5(a) of this Bond to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of such paragraph and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. If one or more of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing (each an "Event of Default"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Israel fails to pay, when due, principal of or interest on any of the Bonds and such failure continues for a period of 30 days; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Israel defaults in performance or observance of or compliance with any of its other obligations set forth in the Bonds, which default is materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the Bonds and not remedied within 60 days after written notice of such default shall have been given to Israel by the holder of any Bond at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in The City of London, England; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Israel declares a moratorium with respect to the payment of principal of or interest on Bonds of a series that is materially prejudicial to the holders of the Bonds of such series;

then the registered holder of this Bond may, at such holder's option so long as an Event of Default is continuing, declare the principal of the Bond of this series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately by written demand given to the Fiscal Agent and to Israel at the office of the Fiscal Agent by such holder, and unless prior to receipt of such written demand by the Fiscal Agent all such defaults shall have been cured, the principal of the Bond of this series and interest accrued thereon shall become and be immediately due and payable; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any notice declaring the Bonds of this series due and payable shall become effective only when the Fiscal Agent has received such notice from holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of this series then Outstanding. If any Event of Default shall give rise to a declaration, which declaration shall be effective and all Events of Default shall cease to continue following such declaration, then such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of this series then Outstanding in accordance with the procedures set forth in Paragraph 8 of this Bond.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. If any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Fiscal Agent, Israel shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Bond of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there be delivered to Israel and the Fiscal Agent (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Bond and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to Israel or the Fiscal Agent that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, Israel shall execute, and upon its request the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Bond a new Bond of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Paragraph 7, Israel may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and the expenses of the Fiscal Agent) connected therewith.

Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Paragraph 7 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of Israel, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

Any new Bond delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 7 shall be dated the date of its authentication.

The provisions of this Paragraph 7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. The Fiscal Agency Agreement sets forth the provisions for the convening of meetings of holders of Bonds and actions taken by written consent of the holders of Bonds, as well as the provisions for modification of this Bond and the Fiscal Agency Agreement itself.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. Israel hereby certifies and declares that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation and issuance of this Bond, and to constitute the same and valid obligation of Israel in accordance with its terms, have been done and performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with the applicable laws of Israel.

THE STATE OF ISRAEL

5.000% Bonds Due 2036

$500,000,000

The State of Israel ("Israel"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED MILLION United States Dollars ($500,000,000) on January 13, 2036 and to pay interest thereon from January 13, 2026, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on January 13 and July 13 in each year, commencing July 13, 2026 (each an "Interest Payment Date"), at the rate of 5.000% per annum until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement hereinafter referred to, be paid to the person (the "registered holder") in whose name this Bond (or one or more predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on December 30 or June 29 (whether or not a business day), as the case may be (each a "Regular Record Date"), next preceding such Interest Payment Date at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Interest shall be paid on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Bond (or one or more predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such interest to be fixed by Israel, notice whereof shall be given to registered holders of Bonds of this series not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Bonds of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange.

This Bond is a permanent book-entry security evidencing a duly authorized issue of securities of Israel (including this Bond, herein called the "Bonds") and is governed by the provisions of a Fiscal Agency Agreement dated as of March 13, 2000, between Israel and Citibank, N.A., as Fiscal Agent (herein called the "Fiscal Agent", which term includes any successor fiscal agent under the Fiscal Agency Agreement), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2004 and Amendment No. 2 to Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2016 (as so amended, the "Fiscal Agency Agreement"). The Bonds are subject to collective action clauses, set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Bond shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires.

Principal of this Bond shall be payable against surrender hereof at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent hereinafter referred to or at such other offices or agencies as Israel may designate and at the offices of such other Paying Agents as Israel shall have appointed pursuant to the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Payments of principal of this Bond shall be made against surrender of registered Bonds, and payments of interest on this Bond shall be made, in accordance with the foregoing and subject to applicable laws and regulations, by check mailed on or before the due date for such payment to the person entitled thereto at such person's address appearing on the aforementioned register or, in the case of payments of principal to such other address as the registered holder may specify upon such surrender; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any payments shall be made, in the case of a registered holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds, by transfer of same-day funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if such registered holder so elects by giving notice to the Fiscal Agent, not less than 15 days (or fewer days as the Fiscal Agent may accept at its discretion) prior to the date of the payments to be obtained, of such election and of the account to which payments are to be made. Israel covenants that until this Bond has been delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation, or monies sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on this Bond have been made available for payment and either paid or returned to Israel as provided herein, it will at all times maintain offices or agencies in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as herein provided.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Bond set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Fiscal Agent by manual signature, this Bond shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Israel has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. This Bond is a permanent book-entry security evidencing a duly authorized issue of securities of Israel, issued and to be issued in one or more series in accordance with a Fiscal Agency Agreement, copies of which Fiscal Agency Agreement are on file and available for inspection at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in The City of London, England. This Bond is a permanent book-entry security evidencing the Bond of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000.

The Bonds constitute and will constitute direct, general, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness of Israel for which the full faith and credit of Israel is pledged. The Bonds rank and will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness of Israel. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require Israel to make payments under the Bonds ratably with payments being made under any other External Indebtedness.

"<u>External Indebtedness</u>" means Indebtedness that is payable by its terms or at the option of its holder in any currency other than the currency of Israel (other than any such Indebtedness that is originally issued within Israel).

"<u>Guarantee</u>" includes a suretyship or any other arrangement whereby the respective party is directly or indirectly responsible for any External Indebtedness of another Person.

"<u>Indebtedness</u>" means all unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Israel in respect of money borrowed and Guarantees given by Israel in respect of money borrowed by others.

"<u>Person</u>" means an individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization or any other juridical entity, including without limitation a government or governmental body or agency or instrumentality or any international organization or agency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. The Bonds are issuable in fully registered form. Bonds are issuable in the authorized denomination of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Except as set forth in this Paragraph 3, the Bonds are issuable only as fully registered book-entry securities, without coupons, each registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, a nominee thereof or a successor to The Depository Trust Company, or a nominee thereof, and (i) no book-entry security may be transferred, except in whole and not in part, and only to The Depository Trust Company, one or more nominees of The Depository Trust Company or one or more respective successors of The Depository Trust Company and its nominees, and (ii) no book-entry security may be exchanged for any Bond other than another book-entry security. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or this book-entry security, a book-entry security may be exchanged for registered Bonds registered in the name of a person other than The Depository Trust Company, a nominee of The Depository Trust Company or a successor of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee if (i) The Depository Trust Company notifies Israel that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such book-entry security or ceases at any time to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) Israel, in its sole discretion, instructs the Fiscal Agent in writing that a book-entry security shall be so transferable and exchangeable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default with respect to the Bonds evidenced by this book-entry security. Registered Bonds issued in exchange for this book-entry security will be registered in such names, and issued in such denominations (of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount), as an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company shall request.

Israel shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Bonds may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. Israel has initially appointed the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent as its agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purpose and agrees to cause to be kept at such office a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, Israel will provide for the registration of Bonds and registration of transfers of Bonds. Israel reserves the right to vary or terminate the appointment of the Fiscal Agent as security registrar or to appoint additional or other registrars or to approve any change in the office through which any security registrar acts, provided that there will at all times be a security registrar in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

The transfer of a Bond is registrable on the aforementioned register upon surrender of such Bond at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to Israel and the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the registered holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer, Israel shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the registered holder upon request confirmed in writing, Bonds may be exchanged for Bonds of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor, form and aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent. Whenever any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, Israel shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the bonds that the registered holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Any registration of transfer or exchange will be effected upon the Fiscal Agent being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as Israel may from time to time agree with the Fiscal Agent.

All Bonds issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be the valid obligations of Israel, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Bonds surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but Israel may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, other than an exchange in connection with a partial redemption of a Bond not involving any registration of a transfer.

Prior to due presentment of this Bond for registration of transfer, Israel, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of Israel or the Fiscal Agent may treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Bond be overdue, and neither Israel nor the Fiscal Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. (a) Israel shall pay to the Fiscal Agent at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, on or prior to the opening of business on each Interest Payment Date and the maturity date of the Bonds, in such amounts sufficient (with any amounts then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for the purpose) to pay the interest on, and the principal of, the Bonds due and payable on such Interest Payment Date or maturity date, as the case may be. The Fiscal Agent shall apply the amounts so paid to it to the payment of such interest and principal in accordance with the terms of the Bonds and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, including any payments to any Paying Agents as required thereby. Any monies paid by Israel to the Fiscal Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bonds and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or otherwise) shall then be repaid to Israel upon its written request, and upon such repayment all liability of the Fiscal Agent with respect thereto shall cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation Israel may have to pay the principal of and interest on this Bond as the same shall become due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bond shall be at any place of payment a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on such date at such place but may be made on the next succeeding day at such place that is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. (a) All payments of principal and interest, if any, made by Israel in respect of the Bonds will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, fees, funds, assessments or other charges of whatsoever nature levied or imposed by or on behalf of Israel or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, Israel shall pay such additional amounts as will result in receipt by the holders of Bonds of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no additional amounts shall be payable in respect of any Bonds (a) to a holder (or to a third party on behalf of a holder) where such holder is liable for such taxes, duties, fees, funds, assessments or charges in respect of such Bonds by reason of having some connection with Israel other than the mere holding of the Bonds; or (b) presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the holder of such Bonds would have been entitled to such additional amounts on presenting such Bonds for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days. For purposes hereof, "Relevant Date" means whichever is the later of (a) the date on which such payment first becomes due and (b) if the full amount payable has not been received in The City of New York by the Fiscal Agent on or prior to such due date, the date on which, the full amount having been so received, notice to that effect shall have been given to the holders of the Bonds.

Israel shall pay all transfer, stamp, documentary and other similar taxes or duties, if any, which may be imposed by Israel, the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority of or in the foregoing with respect to the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the issuance of this Bond.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Whenever in this Bond there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of or interest on, or in respect of, any Bond, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided for in Paragraph 5(a) of this Bond to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of such paragraph and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. If one or more of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing (each an "Event of Default"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Israel fails to pay, when due, principal of or interest on any of the Bonds and such failure continues for a period of 30 days; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Israel defaults in performance or observance of or compliance with any of its other obligations set forth in the Bonds, which default is materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the Bonds and not remedied within 60 days after written notice of such default shall have been given to Israel by the holder of any Bond at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in The City of London, England; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Israel declares a moratorium with respect to the payment of principal of or interest on Bonds of a series that is materially prejudicial to the holders of the Bonds of such series;

then the registered holder of this Bond may, at such holder's option so long as an Event of Default is continuing, declare the principal of the Bond of this series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately by written demand given to the Fiscal Agent and to Israel at the office of the Fiscal Agent by such holder, and unless prior to receipt of such written demand by the Fiscal Agent all such defaults shall have been cured, the principal of the Bond of this series and interest accrued thereon shall become and be immediately due and payable; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any notice declaring the Bonds of this series due and payable shall become effective only when the Fiscal Agent has received such notice from holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of this series then Outstanding. If any Event of Default shall give rise to a declaration, which declaration shall be effective and all Events of Default shall cease to continue following such declaration, then such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of this series then Outstanding in accordance with the procedures set forth in Paragraph 8 of this Bond.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. If any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Fiscal Agent, Israel shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Bond of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there be delivered to Israel and the Fiscal Agent (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Bond and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to Israel or the Fiscal Agent that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, Israel shall execute, and upon its request the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Bond a new Bond of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Paragraph 7, Israel may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and the expenses of the Fiscal Agent) connected therewith.

Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Paragraph 7 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of Israel, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

Any new Bond delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 7 shall be dated the date of its authentication.

The provisions of this Paragraph 7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. The Fiscal Agency Agreement sets forth the provisions for the convening of meetings of holders of Bonds and actions taken by written consent of the holders of Bonds, as well as the provisions for modification of this Bond and the Fiscal Agency Agreement itself.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. Reserved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. This Bond shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, except with respect to its authorization and execution on behalf of Israel, which shall be governed by the laws of Israel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. Israel hereby certifies and declares that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation and issuance of this Bond, and to constitute the same and valid obligation of Israel in accordance with its terms, have been done and performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with the applicable laws of Israel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. From time to time, without the consent of holders of the Bonds of this series, and subject to the required approvals under Israeli law, Israel may create and issue additional Bonds with the same terms and conditions as those of the Bonds of this series (or the same except for the amount of the first interest payment); <u>provided</u> that, if such additional Bonds are not fungible with the outstanding Bonds of this Series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Bonds will have a separate CUSIP or other identifying number.

Interest shall be paid on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Bond (or one or more predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such interest to be fixed by Israel, notice whereof shall be given to registered holders of Bonds of this series not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Bonds of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange.

This Bond is a permanent book-entry security evidencing a duly authorized issue of securities of Israel (including this Bond, herein called the "Bonds") and is governed by the provisions of a Fiscal Agency Agreement dated as of March 13, 2000, between Israel and Citibank, N.A., as Fiscal Agent (herein called the "Fiscal Agent", which term includes any successor fiscal agent under the Fiscal Agency Agreement), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2004 and Amendment No. 2 to Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2016 (as so amended, the "Fiscal Agency Agreement"). The Bonds are subject to collective action clauses, set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Bond shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires.

Principal of this Bond shall be payable against surrender hereof at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent hereinafter referred to or at such other offices or agencies as Israel may designate and at the offices of such other Paying Agents as Israel shall have appointed pursuant to the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Payments of principal of this Bond shall be made against surrender of registered Bonds, and payments of interest on this Bond shall be made, in accordance with the foregoing and subject to applicable laws and regulations, by check mailed on or before the due date for such payment to the person entitled thereto at such person's address appearing on the aforementioned register or, in the case of payments of principal to such other address as the registered holder may specify upon such surrender; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any payments shall be made, in the case of a registered holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds, by transfer of same-day funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if such registered holder so elects by giving notice to the Fiscal Agent, not less than 15 days (or fewer days as the Fiscal Agent may accept at its discretion) prior to the date of the payments to be obtained, of such election and of the account to which payments are to be made. Israel covenants that until this Bond has been delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation, or monies sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on this Bond have been made available for payment and either paid or returned to Israel as provided herein, it will at all times maintain offices or agencies in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as herein provided.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Bond set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Fiscal Agent by manual signature, this Bond shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Israel has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. This Bond is a permanent book-entry security evidencing a duly authorized issue of securities of Israel, issued and to be issued in one or more series in accordance with a Fiscal Agency Agreement, copies of which Fiscal Agency Agreement are on file and available for inspection at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in The City of London, England. This Bond is a permanent book-entry security evidencing the Bond of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $[●].

The Bonds constitute and will constitute direct, general, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness of Israel for which the full faith and credit of Israel is pledged. The Bonds rank and will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness of Israel. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require Israel to make payments under the Bonds ratably with payments being made under any other External Indebtedness.

"<u>External Indebtedness</u>" means Indebtedness that is payable by its terms or at the option of its holder in any currency other than the currency of Israel (other than any such Indebtedness that is originally issued within Israel).

"<u>Guarantee</u>" includes a suretyship or any other arrangement whereby the respective party is directly or indirectly responsible for any External Indebtedness of another Person.

"<u>Indebtedness</u>" means all unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Israel in respect of money borrowed and Guarantees given by Israel in respect of money borrowed by others.

"<u>Person</u>" means an individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization or any other juridical entity, including without limitation a government or governmental body or agency or instrumentality or any international organization or agency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. The Bonds are issuable in fully registered form. Bonds are issuable in the authorized denomination of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Except as set forth in this Paragraph 3, the Bonds are issuable only as fully registered book-entry securities, without coupons, each registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, a nominee thereof or a successor to The Depository Trust Company, or a nominee thereof, and (i) no book-entry security may be transferred, except in whole and not in part, and only to The Depository Trust Company, one or more nominees of The Depository Trust Company or one or more respective successors of The Depository Trust Company and its nominees, and (ii) no book-entry security may be exchanged for any Bond other than another book-entry security. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or this book-entry security, a book-entry security may be exchanged for registered Bonds registered in the name of a person other than The Depository Trust Company, a nominee of The Depository Trust Company or a successor of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee if (i) The Depository Trust Company notifies Israel that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such book-entry security or ceases at any time to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) Israel, in its sole discretion, instructs the Fiscal Agent in writing that a book-entry security shall be so transferable and exchangeable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default with respect to the Bonds evidenced by this book-entry security. Registered Bonds issued in exchange for this book-entry security will be registered in such names, and issued in such denominations (of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount), as an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company shall request.

Israel shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Bonds may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. Israel has initially appointed the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent as its agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purpose and agrees to cause to be kept at such office a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, Israel will provide for the registration of Bonds and registration of transfers of Bonds. Israel reserves the right to vary or terminate the appointment of the Fiscal Agent as security registrar or to appoint additional or other registrars or to approve any change in the office through which any security registrar acts, provided that there will at all times be a security registrar in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

The transfer of a Bond is registrable on the aforementioned register upon surrender of such Bond at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to Israel and the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the registered holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer, Israel shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the registered holder upon request confirmed in writing, Bonds may be exchanged for Bonds of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor, form and aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent. Whenever any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, Israel shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the bonds that the registered holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Any registration of transfer or exchange will be effected upon the Fiscal Agent being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as Israel may from time to time agree with the Fiscal Agent.

All Bonds issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be the valid obligations of Israel, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Bonds surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but Israel may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, other than an exchange in connection with a partial redemption of a Bond not involving any registration of a transfer.

Prior to due presentment of this Bond for registration of transfer, Israel, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of Israel or the Fiscal Agent may treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Bond be overdue, and neither Israel nor the Fiscal Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. (a) Israel shall pay to the Fiscal Agent at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, on or prior to the opening of business on each Interest Payment Date and the maturity date of the Bonds, in such amounts sufficient (with any amounts then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for the purpose) to pay the interest on, and the principal of, the Bonds due and payable on such Interest Payment Date or maturity date, as the case may be. The Fiscal Agent shall apply the amounts so paid to it to the payment of such interest and principal in accordance with the terms of the Bonds and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, including any payments to any Paying Agents as required thereby. Any monies paid by Israel to the Fiscal Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bonds and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or otherwise) shall then be repaid to Israel upon its written request, and upon such repayment all liability of the Fiscal Agent with respect thereto shall cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation Israel may have to pay the principal of and interest on this Bond as the same shall become due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bond shall be at any place of payment a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on such date at such place but may be made on the next succeeding day at such place that is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. (a) All payments of principal and interest, if any, made by Israel in respect of the Bonds will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, fees, funds, assessments or other charges of whatsoever nature levied or imposed by or on behalf of Israel or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, Israel shall pay such additional amounts as will result in receipt by the holders of Bonds of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no additional amounts shall be payable in respect of any Bonds (a) to a holder (or to a third party on behalf of a holder) where such holder is liable for such taxes, duties, fees, funds, assessments or charges in respect of such Bonds by reason of having some connection with Israel other than the mere holding of the Bonds; or (b) presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the holder of such Bonds would have been entitled to such additional amounts on presenting such Bonds for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days. For purposes hereof, "Relevant Date" means whichever is the later of (a) the date on which such payment first becomes due and (b) if the full amount payable has not been received in The City of New York by the Fiscal Agent on or prior to such due date, the date on which, the full amount having been so received, notice to that effect shall have been given to the holders of the Bonds.

Israel shall pay all transfer, stamp, documentary and other similar taxes or duties, if any, which may be imposed by Israel, the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority of or in the foregoing with respect to the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the issuance of this Bond.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Whenever in this Bond there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of or interest on, or in respect of, any Bond, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided for in Paragraph 5(a) of this Bond to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of such paragraph and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. If one or more of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing (each an "Event of Default"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Israel fails to pay, when due, principal of or interest on any of the Bonds and such failure continues for a period of 30 days; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Israel defaults in performance or observance of or compliance with any of its other obligations set forth in the Bonds, which default is materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the Bonds and not remedied within 60 days after written notice of such default shall have been given to Israel by the holder of any Bond at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in The City of London, England; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Israel declares a moratorium with respect to the payment of principal of or interest on Bonds of a series that is materially prejudicial to the holders of the Bonds of such series;

then the registered holder of this Bond may, at such holder's option so long as an Event of Default is continuing, declare the principal of the Bond of this series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately by written demand given to the Fiscal Agent and to Israel at the office of the Fiscal Agent by such holder, and unless prior to receipt of such written demand by the Fiscal Agent all such defaults shall have been cured, the principal of the Bond of this series and interest accrued thereon shall become and be immediately due and payable; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any notice declaring the Bonds of this series due and payable shall become effective only when the Fiscal Agent has received such notice from holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of this series then Outstanding. If any Event of Default shall give rise to a declaration, which declaration shall be effective and all Events of Default shall cease to continue following such declaration, then such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of this series then Outstanding in accordance with the procedures set forth in Paragraph 8 of this Bond.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. If any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Fiscal Agent, Israel shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Bond of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there be delivered to Israel and the Fiscal Agent (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Bond and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to Israel or the Fiscal Agent that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, Israel shall execute, and upon its request the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Bond a new Bond of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Paragraph 7, Israel may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and the expenses of the Fiscal Agent) connected therewith.

Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Paragraph 7 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of Israel, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

Any new Bond delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 7 shall be dated the date of its authentication.

The provisions of this Paragraph 7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. The Fiscal Agency Agreement sets forth the provisions for the convening of meetings of holders of Bonds and actions taken by written consent of the holders of Bonds, as well as the provisions for modification of this Bond and the Fiscal Agency Agreement itself.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. Reserved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. This Bond shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, except with respect to its authorization and execution on behalf of Israel, which shall be governed by the laws of Israel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. Israel hereby certifies and declares that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation and issuance of this Bond, and to constitute the same and valid obligation of Israel in accordance with its terms, have been done and performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with the applicable laws of Israel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. From time to time, without the consent of holders of the Bonds of this series, and subject to the required approvals under Israeli law, Israel may create and issue additional Bonds with the same terms and conditions as those of the Bonds of this series (or the same except for the amount of the first interest payment); <u>provided</u> that, if such additional Bonds are not fungible with the outstanding Bonds of this Series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Bonds will have a separate CUSIP or other identifying number. Israel may also consolidate the additional Bonds to form a single series with the outstanding Bonds of this series.

Re: Registration Statement of <br> the State of Israel on Schedule B <br> <u>Registration Statement No. 333-238245</u>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I, the Legal Advisor to the Ministry of Finance of the State of Israel ("Israel"), have reviewed the above-referenced Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement"), the Prospectus dated May 20, 2020 (the "Prospectus"), the Prospectus Supplement dated January 6, 2026 (the "Prospectus Supplement"), the Fiscal Agency Agreement dated as of March 13, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Fiscal Agency Agreement dated as of February 24, 2004 and as amended by Amendment No. 2 to the Fiscal Agency Agreement dated as of January 5, 2016 (as so amended, the "Fiscal Agency Agreement"), between Israel and Citibank, N.A., as the fiscal agent, and the Underwriting Agreement dated January 6, 2026 (the "Underwriting Agreement" and, together with the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the "Agreements") by and among Israel and BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities plc (collectively, the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which Israel has issued and offered for sale U.S.$2,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Israel's 4.500% bonds due 2031 (the "2031 Bonds"), U.S.$2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Israel's 5.000% bonds due 2036 (the "2036 Bonds"), and U.S.$1,750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% bonds due 2056 (the "2056 Bonds" and, together with the 2031 Bonds and the 2036 Bonds, the "Offered Securities"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Underwriting Agreement.

The issuance of the Offered Securities has been authorized pursuant to the State Property Law of Israel.

It is my opinion that when the Offered Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Israel, authenticated in accordance with the Agreements and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Agreements, the Offered Securities will constitute valid and legally binding direct and unconditional obligations of Israel under and with respect to the present laws of Israel.

It is also my opinion that the principal anticipated Israeli tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Offered Securities are as set forth in that section of the Prospectus Supplement entitled "Taxation – Israeli Taxation".

I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Annual Report of the State of Israel on Form 18-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and to the use of my name and title under the headings "Validity of the Bonds" in the Prospectus Supplement and "Validity of the Debt Securities" in the Prospectus. In giving the foregoing consent, I do not thereby admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder. I also consent to the reliance on this opinion by Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP as to any matter relating to the laws of Israel, in connection with any opinion required to be filed with or delivered to the SEC.

ISRAEL

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special United States counsel for the Government of Israel ("Israel") in connection with the issuance and offering for sale of U.S.$2,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.500% bonds due 2031 (the "2031 Bonds"), U.S.$2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.000% bonds due 2036 (the "2036 Bonds"), and U.S.$1,750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% bonds due 2056 (the "2056 Bonds" and, together with the 2031 Bonds and the 2036 Bonds, the "Bonds") in the form of a takedown from Israel's Registration Statement No. 333-238245 under Schedule B (the "Registration Statement"). The issuance and offering for sale of the Bonds are collectively referred to herein as the "Offering". In connection with the Offering we have reviewed the Registration Statement, the Prospectus dated May 20, 2020 (the "Prospectus"), the Prospectus Supplement dated January 6, 2026 (the "Prospectus Supplement"), the Fiscal Agency Agreement dated as of March 13, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Fiscal Agency Agreement dated as of February 24, 2004 and as amended by Amendment No. 2 to Fiscal Agency Agreement dated as of January 5, 2016 (as so amended, the "Fiscal Agency Agreement") between Israel and Citibank, N.A., as the fiscal agent, and the Underwriting Agreement dated January 6, 2026 (the "Underwriting Agreement") by and among Israel and BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities plc. We have also reviewed Israel's Annual Report on Form 18-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as amended (the "Annual Report"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Underwriting Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement are collectively defined herein as the "Agreements".

In rendering the opinion expressed below, we have examined such certificates of public officials, government documents and records and other certificates and instruments furnished to us, and have made such other investigations, as we have deemed necessary in connection with the opinion set forth herein. Furthermore, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the authority of Israel to enter into the Agreements and cause the issuance of the Bonds, and the conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. As to any document originally prepared in any language other than English and submitted to us in translation, we have assumed the accuracy of the English translation.

This opinion is limited to the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York, and we do not express any opinion herein concerning the laws of any other jurisdiction. Insofar as the opinion set forth herein relates to matters of the laws of Israel, we have relied upon the opinion of the Legal Advisor to the Ministry of Finance of the State of Israel, a copy of which is being filed as an exhibit to the Annual Report, and our opinion herein is subject to any and all exceptions and reservations set forth therein.

Ministry of Finance

Government of Israel

January 13, 2026

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and assuming (x) the due authorization of the Bonds by Israel and (y) that when the Bonds have been duly authorized, issued, and executed by Israel and authenticated, delivered, and paid for as contemplated by the Agreements, the Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto, the Bonds will constitute valid and legally binding direct and unconditional obligations of Israel under and with respect to the laws of Israel, we are of the opinion that when the Bonds have been duly authorized, issued, and executed by Israel and authenticated, delivered, and paid for as contemplated by the Agreements, the Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto, the Bonds will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Israel under the laws of the State of New York.

The foregoing opinions as to enforceability of obligations of Israel are subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, liquidation, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and by the application of general principles of equity (whether applied by a court in equity or at law) and the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought (such principles of equity are of general application, and in applying such principles, a court may include a covenant of good faith and fair dealing and apply concepts of reasonableness, mutuality and materiality); (ii) requirements that a judgment for money damages rendered by a court in the United States be expressed only in U.S. dollars; and (iii) governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of payments outside the United States or in foreign currency or composite currency.

We are also of the opinion that the material anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the Bonds are as set forth in that section of the Prospectus Supplement entitled "Taxation – U.S. Taxation".

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Annual Report and to the reference to this firm under the heading "Validity of the Bonds" in the Prospectus Supplement and under the heading "Validity of the Debt Securities" in the Prospectus. In giving the foregoing consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

The opinions set forth in this letter are effective as of the date hereof only. We assume no responsibility to update this opinion letter for, or to advise you of, any fact or circumstance occurring, or of which we become aware, subsequent to the date of this opinion letter, including, without limitation, legislative and other changes in the law or circumstances affecting any party.

The opinions expressed above are limited to the matters stated in this opinion letter, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond those expressly stated in this opinion letter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) (i) On the Effective Date of any part of the Registration Statement, such part of the Registration Statement did or will, (ii) on the date filed, each preliminary prospectus did or will, and (iii) when the Prospectus is first filed (if required) in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, the Prospectus (as supplemented in the case of the Closing Date) will, in each case, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act, the rules thereunder and the Release; on the Effective Date of any part of the Registration Statement, such part of the Registration Statement did not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; the Registration Statement as of the date hereof does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; the Time of Sale Prospectus does not, and at the time of each sale of the Offered Securities in connection with the offering and at the Closing Date, the Time of Sale Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented by Israel, if applicable, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Prospectus does not contain and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, at the Closing Date will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that Israel makes no representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Israel by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in the last sentence of Section 9(b) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Israel is not an "ineligible issuer" in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to Rules 164, 405 and 433. Any free writing prospectus that Israel is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) has been, or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Act. Each free writing prospectus that Israel has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) or that was prepared by or on behalf of or used or referred to by Israel complies or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The issuance and sale of the Offered Securities have been duly authorized, and, when duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered as provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement and paid for in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly and validly issued and outstanding, and will constitute valid and binding obligations of Israel for the payment and performance of which the full faith and credit of Israel will be pledged; the Offered Securities will rank without preference among themselves and equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated "external indebtedness" (as defined in the Offered Securities) of Israel (it being understood that Israel will not be required to make payments under the Offered Securities ratably with payments being made under any other "external indebtedness" (as defined in the Offered Securities) of Israel); and the Offered Securities, when issued and delivered, will conform to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus.

5. <u>Agreements.</u> Israel agrees with the several Underwriters that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Israel will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement, if not effective at the Execution Time, and any amendment thereto, to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Prior to the termination of the offering of the Offered Securities, Israel will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus) to the Basic Prospectus or the Time of Sale Prospectus unless Israel has furnished the Underwriters a copy of such amendment or supplement for their review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Underwriters reasonably object, unless Israel is otherwise advised by its U.S. counsel that such filing is required under the Act. Subject to the foregoing sentence, Israel will cause the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed by such Rule and will promptly provide evidence satisfactory to the Underwriters of such timely filing. Israel will promptly advise the Underwriters (i) when the Registration Statement, if not effective at the Execution Time, and any amendment thereto, shall have become effective, (ii) when the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (iii) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Offered Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (iv) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (v) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (vi) of the receipt by Israel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Offered Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. Israel will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such qualification and, if issued or suspended, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Israel will furnish to the Underwriters a copy of each proposed free writing prospectus related to the Offered Securities to be prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by Israel and will not use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which the Underwriters reasonably object.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Israel will not take any action that would result in an Underwriter or Israel being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that such Underwriter otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Offered Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, Israel shall forthwith prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the respective rules thereunder, Israel promptly will (i) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and (ii) supply any supplemented Prospectus to the Underwriters in such quantities as they may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Subject to Section 6, Israel will endeavor to qualify the Offered Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters shall reasonably request and to pay all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with such qualification and in connection with the determination of the eligibility of the Offered Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may reasonably designate; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that Israel shall not be obligated to file any general or unlimited consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Israel will make generally available to holders of the Offered Securities, as soon as practicable, a statement in the English language of revenues and expenditures of Israel covering the first full fiscal year of Israel beginning after the date of this Agreement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act; it is understood that this undertaking shall be deemed satisfied if Israel has filed its Annual Report on Form 18-K for the year ended December 31, 2027.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) So long as any of the Offered Securities are outstanding, Israel will furnish to the Underwriters copies of all reports and financial and statistical data filed with the Commission in connection with the Offered Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Until the business day following the Closing Date, Israel will not, without the consent of the Underwriters, offer or sell in the United States, or announce the offering in the United States of, any securities other than (i) the Offered Securities and (ii) normal course offers and sales of State of Israel bonds sold through the Development Corporation for Israel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Israel will furnish to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer relating to the Offered Securities may be required by the Act, as many copies of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Israel will use its best efforts to cause the Offered Securities to be listed on the London Stock Exchange.

6. <u>Expenses.</u> Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, except as set forth in the next sentence and as provided in Section 8 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of Israel hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) all of the Underwriters' costs and expenses related to the Roadshow, if any, (ii) all costs and expenses incident to the printing and distributing of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, (iii) any costs and expenses, including fees of listing agents, in connection with the listing of the Offered Securities on the London Stock Exchange, (iv) all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel to the Underwriters and their disbursements) incurred in connection with "Blue Sky" qualifications, (v) any fees of the Fiscal Agent and (vi) all costs and expenses of the Underwriters' Israeli, United States and any other outside counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Israel has the power and authority required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the issuance of the Offered Securities and the performance by Israel of its obligations thereunder and hereunder and under the Fiscal Agency Agreement; and none of the execution or delivery by Israel of this Agreement or the Offered Securities, the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, or the fulfillment by Israel of the terms hereof or thereof or under the Fiscal Agency Agreement requires, under Israeli law, any publication, waiver, consent, filing, registration, authorization or approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Fiscal Agency Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Israel in accordance with the laws of Israel and is a valid and binding agreement of Israel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Israel in accordance with the laws of Israel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) all statements in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus with respect to or involving laws, statutes and regulations of or pertaining to Israel are accurate in all material respects and fairly present the information purported to be shown;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) the provisions of Section 13 of this Agreement and the Offered Securities wherein Israel consents to the jurisdiction of certain courts in the United States and agrees not to assert the defense of immunity, subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 13 of this Agreement, are valid and binding; final judgment against Israel in any such suit, action or proceeding brought, in accordance with such provisions, in the courts of Israel or Federal or state courts in the City of New York would be conclusive and binding upon Israel and may be enforced in the courts of Israel, without retrial or reexamination but subject to the procedural requirements relating to enforcement and recognition of foreign judgments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) under Israeli law in effect as of the date of such opinion, payments made under the Offered Securities to holders who are not residents of Israel will be exempt from Israeli taxation; and for the aforementioned holders there are no transfer, stamp or similar taxes or duties or other charges under the laws of Israel payable in connection with the issuance, transfer and sale of the Offered Securities or the execution and delivery of this Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) the choice of New York law to govern the validity, construction and performance of this Agreement, the Offered Securities and the Fiscal Agency Agreement would be upheld by an Israeli court as a valid and effective choice of law under the laws of Israel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) none of the execution or delivery by Israel of this Agreement or the Offered Securities, the performance by Israel of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, or the fulfillment by Israel of the respective terms hereof or thereof or of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, will violate any constitutional or treaty provision, convention, statute, law, regulation, decree, court order or similar authority binding upon Israel or, to the best knowledge of the Legal Advisor after due inquiry, violate any order, rule or regulations of any Israeli court, regulatory body, administrative body or governmental body;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) none of the execution or delivery by Israel of this Agreement or the Offered Securities, the performance by Israel of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, or the fulfillment of the respective terms hereof or thereof or of the Fiscal Agency Agreement by Israel, will, to the best knowledge of the Legal Advisor after due inquiry, violate, or result in a breach of, the terms of, or cause a default under, any note, note agreement, bank loan or any other agreement or instrument for money borrowed to which Israel is a party;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) there is no action, suit or proceeding pending, or to the best knowledge of the Legal Advisor after due inquiry, threatened against or affecting Israel, before any court or administrative agency in Israel challenging the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Offered Securities or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiii) the Registration Statement, as amended, any preliminary prospectus supplement, and the Prospectus, and their filing with the Commission have been duly authorized by and on behalf of Israel, and the Registration Statement has been duly executed on behalf of Israel; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiv) the appointment of the Authorized Agent in Section 13 below and any waiver in that section by Israel with respect thereto are legal, valid and binding in accordance with their respective terms under the laws of Israel.

The Legal Advisor shall further confirm that appropriate officials in the Ministry of Finance have been apprised of the disclosure standards applicable to the offering described in this Agreement and have reviewed the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus. Based on such review, the results of which have been discussed with the Legal Advisor, the Legal Advisor shall confirm that, although the Legal Advisor shall not have made an independent investigation or verification of the correctness and completeness of the information included in the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, nothing has come to the Legal Advisor's attention that would lead the Legal Advisor to believe that (except as to the financial and statistical data contained therein, as to which the Legal Advisor need not express any belief) (1) the Registration Statement, as of the Effective Date or as of the date of this Agreement, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make statements therein not misleading, (2) the Time of Sale Prospectus, as of the Execution Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (3) the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as applicable, as of its date or as of the Closing Date, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

In rendering such opinion, the Legal Advisor may rely without independent investigation on the opinion pursuant to paragraph (c) below as to matters of New York State and United States Federal law, and such opinion shall be subject to any limitations and exceptions contained in the opinion so relied upon. References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (b) include any supplements thereto at the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Underwriters shall have received an opinion and 10b-5 letter, reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters, of Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, special United States counsel to Israel, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Underwriters may reasonably require. In giving the opinion referred to in the preceding sentence, Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP may (i) assume that the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Offered Securities and this Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the appropriate party or parties thereto and that each such party has adequate power and authority to enter therein and (ii) rely without independent investigation on the opinion delivered pursuant to paragraph 7(b) above as to matters governed by the laws of Israel, and such opinion shall be subject to any limitations and exceptions contained in the opinion delivered pursuant to paragraph 7(b) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Underwriters shall have received from (i) Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion and 10b-5 letter, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Underwriters may reasonably require and (ii) Meitar Law Offices, special counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities, the Fiscal Agency Agreement and other related matters as the Underwriters may reasonably require; and, in each case, Israel shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters. In giving the opinion referred to in clause (i) of the preceding sentence, Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP may rely without independent investigation on the opinion delivered pursuant to paragraph 7(b) above as to the matters governed by the laws of Israel and such opinion shall be subject to any limitations and exceptions contained in the opinion delivered pursuant to paragraph 7(b) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Israel shall have furnished to the Underwriters a certificate of Israel, signed by two authorized signatories of the Ministry of Finance, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that each signer of such certificate has carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, any supplement to the Prospectus and this Agreement and that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the representations and warranties of Israel in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date, and Israel has complied in all material respects with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to Israel's knowledge, threatened; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) there has been no material adverse change or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in the condition (financial, economic or political) of Israel from that set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto dated after the Execution Time) that was not disclosed to the Underwriters prior to the Execution Time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof dated after the Execution Time), the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto dated after the Execution Time), there shall not have been any change or any development involving a prospective change in the condition (financial, economic or political) of Israel from that set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (in each case exclusive of any amendment thereof or supplement thereto dated after the Execution Time) that, in the judgment of the Underwriters, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Offered Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (in each case exclusive of any amendment thereof or supplement thereto dated after the Execution Time).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of Israel's debt securities by the rating agencies listed on Schedule III hereto (or any successor to the rating agency business thereof) or any written notice given of any intended or potential change in any such rating that is not an upward change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Subsequent to the Execution Time, no proceeding shall be pending or threatened to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale or delivery of the Offered Securities or in any manner to question the laws, proceedings, directives, resolutions, approvals, consents or orders under which the Offered Securities are to be issued or to question the validity of the Offered Securities, and none of such laws, proceedings, directives, resolutions, approvals, consents or orders shall have been repealed, revoked or rescinded in whole or in part.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subsequent to the Execution Time, Israel shall not have ceased to be a member of the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) On or prior to the Closing Date, Israel shall have made an application for the Offered Securities to be listed on the London Stock Exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) The performance by each of the Underwriters of their respective obligations hereunder shall not violate any Sanctions and would not violate any Sanctions if performed by a European Union or United States person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Prior to the Closing Date, Israel shall have furnished to the Underwriters such further information, certificates, opinions and other documents as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 7 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and to counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Underwriters. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to Israel in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 7 shall be delivered at the office of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, at Two Manhattan West, 375 Ninth Avenue, New York, New York 10001, at the Closing Date.

8. <u>Reimbursement of Underwriters' Expenses.</u> If the sale of the Offered Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 7 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 11 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of Israel to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, Israel will reimburse the Underwriters severally upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Offered Securities.

9. <u>Indemnification and Contribution</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Israel agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Roadshow (if any), any issuer free writing prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that Israel will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Israel by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in the last sentence of Section 9(b) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Israel may otherwise have to any Underwriter. Israel further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any requirement under the laws of Israel to pay any stamp or similar taxes in connection with the issuance of the Offered Securities to such Underwriter by Israel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Israel, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from Israel to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished in writing to Israel by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in such foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have to Israel. Israel acknowledges that, for all purposes of this Agreement, each Underwriter's name, solely with respect to such Underwriter, on the cover page of the prospectus supplement and each Underwriter's name and principal amount of Offered Securities purchased, solely with respect to such Underwriter, the third, fourth and fifth sentences of the second paragraph and the fifth and sixth paragraphs under the heading "Underwriting" in the prospectus supplement constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the documents referred to in such foregoing indemnity, and the Underwriters confirm that such statements are correct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent such indemnifying party did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by such indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve such indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to such indemnified party and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding, in each case effected without its written consent, but if settled or compromised with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or compromise with respect to which consent was provided or such final judgment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9 is unavailable or insufficient (unless such indemnity is unavailable or insufficient by operation of the provisos set forth therein) to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, Israel and the Underwriters agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively, "<u>Losses</u>") to which Israel and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Israel and by the Underwriters from the offering of the Offered Securities; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among the Underwriters relating to the offering of the Offered Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Offered Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, Israel and the Underwriters shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of Israel and of the Underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by Israel shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses), and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided by Israel or the Underwriters. Israel and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each official of Israel who shall have signed the Registration Statement shall have the same rights to contribution as Israel, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

10. <u>Default by an Underwriter.</u> If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Offered Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions that the principal amount of Offered Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities set forth opposite the names of any remaining non-defaulting Underwriters) the Offered Securities that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (i) the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Offered Securities if the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase exceeds 9.09% of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto and (ii) any remaining non-defaulting Underwriter shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities set forth opposite its name in Schedule I hereto. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Offered Securities, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Offered Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or Israel. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the Underwriters shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. As used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any underwriter, other than the Underwriters, who purchases Offered Securities which a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to Israel and any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

11. <u>Termination.</u> This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriters, by notice given to Israel prior to delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities, if prior to such time but after the date hereof (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange or settlement of securities trading generally shall have been materially disrupted, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or Israeli authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred (x) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities in which the United States or Israel is involved or declaration by the United States or Israel of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis or (y) a material adverse change in the general economic, political or financial conditions in Israel or the United States the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Offered Securities as contemplated by this Agreement and the Prospectus.

12. <u>Representations and Indemnities To Survive.</u> The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of Israel and of the Underwriters set forth in or made in writing pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or Israel or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. The provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

13. <u>Submission to Jurisdiction; Agent for Service of Process.</u> Israel and the Underwriters agree that the Federal courts of the United States sitting in the Southern District of New York, the courts of the State of New York sitting in the City of New York and the courts of Israel shall have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any legal action or proceeding brought against Israel and arising out of or relating to this Agreement. In respect of any such proceeding which may be brought hereunder, Israel irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts of the United States in the Southern District of New York, the courts of the State of New York sitting in the City of New York and the courts of Israel and waives any right of objection to the laying of venue in any such court, including, without limitation, any objection on the basis of inconvenient forum. Israel irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement from which no appeal has been taken or is available.

Israel hereby appoints the Head of Israel Economic Mission – Western Hemisphere of the Ministry of Finance of the Government of Israel, whose office address is presently at 800 Second Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, New York 10017, as its authorized agent ("<u>Authorized Agent</u>") to receive on its behalf service of process in any proceeding that may be brought under the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 13 in a Federal court of the United States in the Southern District of New York or in a New York State court in the City of New York. Israel may nominate a substitute or replacement for its Authorized Agent in the State of New York by giving notice thereof to the Underwriters, but such appointment shall not be effective until the successor to the Authorized Agent accepts appointment as such. Israel agrees that it will at all times maintain an Authorized Agent to receive such service, as above provided. The failure of the Authorized Agent to give Israel notice of the service of any process shall not affect the validity of any proceeding based on that process or any judgment obtained pursuant to it. Israel will take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment or appointments in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent at the address indicated in this Section 13, or at such other address in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, as may be the office of the Authorized Agent at the time of such service, and written notice of such service to Israel (mailed or delivered to Israel at the address set forth in Section 14 hereof) shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon Israel.

In respect of any proceeding which may be brought under this Agreement, Israel irrevocably agrees not to assert the defense of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from jurisdiction, execution or attachment in aid of execution, personally and in respect of its property, except as set forth in the following paragraph.

Neither the submission to jurisdiction, the appointment of the Authorized Agent or the agreements with respect to immunity in this Section 13 shall be interpreted to include actions brought under the United States Federal securities laws or any state securities laws (other than any legal action or proceeding instituted by an Underwriter in its capacity as an Underwriter under this Agreement). Furthermore, the waiver of immunity set forth in this Section 13 shall not extend to the execution or attachment of any property of the Government of Israel or its political subdivisions, agencies, or instrumentalities that constitutes diplomatic or consular assets or that relates in any respect to national security.

Israel waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities.

20. <u>Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

This pricing term sheet relates only to the securities described above and should be read in conjunction with the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, dated January 6, 2026 (the "Preliminary Prospectus Supplement"), and the accompanying Base Prospectus, dated May 20, 2020 (the "Base Prospectus" and, together with the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, including the documents incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Base Prospectus, the "Prospectus"). The information in this pricing term sheet supplements and supersedes the information in the Prospectus to the extent it is inconsistent with the information contained therein.

The Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Base Prospectus are available under the following link:

<sup>1</sup> We expect that delivery of the Bonds will be made to investors on or about January 13, 2026, which will be the fifth business day, accounting for federal holidays as observed in the United States, following the date of this pricing term sheet. Since trades in the secondary market generally settle in one business day, purchasers who wish to trade the Bonds any date prior to the first business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Bonds initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of Bonds who wish to trade Bonds on any date prior to the first business day before delivery should consult their own advisor.
