# Yali Rothenberg Accountant General, State of Israel Ministry of Finance. In this batch Rothenberg is the featured speaker at the 1/15/2025 DCI "Exclusive Briefing on Israel's Economy" promoted to ATRS executive director Mark White and investment officer Rod Graves through Ethan Behling's December 2024 to January 2025 email campaign. Rothenberg does not appear as an email correspondent. His presence in the batch is via DCI marketing copy and the February 2025 "State of Israel Economic Summary" PowerPoint distributed by Stuart Garawitz, which contains two quoted Rothenberg statements positioning Israel's debt-raising capacity and post-war recovery outlook. The first quote, attributed to Rothenberg in 2024: "Israel's ability to raise debt in significant volumes is a result of a sophisticated and deep Israeli capital market, a strong economy, and a stable financial system, alongside solid support from the international market." The second, attributed to him in February 2024: "Israel Bonds is one of the most consistent and reliable sources of any sovereign in history. This is particularly true during the toughest of times. For the past 72 years, Israel Bonds investors have been true partners, helping us to realize our dream of a vibrant Jewish state." A third quote in the Garawitz cover message attributes to Rothenberg the framing that "2025 is predicted to be the rebound year from the war." Rothenberg's role in this batch is as the official-of-state credibility anchor for DCI's institutional sales pitch to U.S. pension funds. As Accountant General he is the official responsible for managing the Israeli government's debt issuance, including the bonds being marketed. ## Evidence > "Israel's ability to raise debt in significant volumes is a result of a sophisticated and deep Israeli capital market, a strong economy, and a stable financial system, alongside solid support from the international market." > Yali Rothenberg quoted in State of Israel Economic Summary, Emails2.pdf p.22, attributed to 2024 > "Israel Bonds is one of the most consistent and reliable sources of any sovereign in history.
