Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar has announced the purchase of an additional $45 million in Israel bonds, continuing to provide liquidity to Israel as it defends itself against Hamas. Last month, Hegar announced the state had purchased $20 million in Israel bonds. The fixed-rate bonds mature in three years and carry an interest rate of 5.4 percent. Since Hegar took office, Texas has purchased $185 million in Israeli bonds.
