Stark County intends to repurchase $2 million in State of Israel bonds. Pro-Palestinian activists say the investments are immoral.

CANTON ‒ Stark County Treasurer Alex Zumbar said he intends to repurchase $2 million in State of Israel bonds.

Pro-Palestinian activists say the investments are immoral.

Three Stark County investments in State of Israel bonds mature April 1. Zumbar said he plans to reinvest $1 million with a three-year bond at a 4.74% interest rate and $1 million with a five-year bond at a 5.17% interest rate when the prior investments mature.

“The bonds offer an attractive and competitive rate for the diversified portfolio when I compared them to other like investments being offered,” Zumbar said.

Last April, Stark County reinvested $1.3 million in State of Israel bonds that will mature in 2029.
