Israel365 is an advocacy organisation that promotes support for Israel, especially among Christians, on biblical grounds.[1] It describes itself as an "Orthodox Jewish institution that believes that Jews and Christians must respect one another".[2] In August 2025 Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs paid towards a trip it ran for 16 influencers from the "America First" and MAGA movements. The contract was with its operating company, Hebrew Ventures LLC.[3]
Positions
Al Jazeera, citing the group's website, reported that Israel365 "stands unapologetically for the Jewish people's God-given right to the entire Land of Israel". It rejects a two-state solution as a "delusion", and it describes its mission as defending "Western civilization against threats from both Progressive Left extremism and global jihad".[1]
2025 MAGA influencer trip
On 15 July 2025 the Foreign Ministry published exemption notice 4000604787, naming the supplier as "Hebrew Ventures LLC (Israel365)" and the value as NIS 297,360.[4] Al Jazeera, citing Haaretz, quoted the ministry as saying that Israel365 was in a "unique position to convey a pro-Israel stance that aligns entirely with the MAGA and America First agenda". It added that since October 2023 the group had "deepened ties with MAGA and America First movements".[1]
The tenders committee's protocol 294/2025 of 5 August 2025 approved the "Israel365 America First MAGA Influencer Trip". It brought 16 influencers to Israel from 9 to 18 August 2025, with the ministry paying up to US$70,000: up to US$32,000 for flights and up to US$38,000 to the supplier (translated from Hebrew).[3] Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, executive director of Israel365 Action, told Jewish Insider that he organised the trip because "the MAGA movement did not have any authentic voices out of Israel communicating to it in this war". He said it was planned with pro-Israel figures who manage conservative influencers, whom he met at Turning Point USA's America Fest in December 2024. He declined to name them.[2]
