**Africa Israel Investments Ltd.** (AFI Group) is an international [holding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holding_company "Holding company") and [investment company](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investment_company "Investment company") based in [Yehud](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehud,_Israel "Yehud, Israel"), [Israel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel "Israel"). The group consists of several private and public companies active in areas such as real estate, construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, tourism and leisure. The company’s shares are traded on the [Tel Aviv Stock Exchange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tel_Aviv_Stock_Exchange "Tel Aviv Stock Exchange") and are a constitute of the [TA-35 Index](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TA-35_Index "TA-35 Index"). The company became the subject of newspaper coverage in 2008, for its association with the construction of [Israeli settlements](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_settlement "Israeli settlement") on the [West Bank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank "West Bank"), which are [illegal under international law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_Israeli_settlements "Legal status of Israeli settlements").

Africa Israel Investments was founded in 1934, during the [British Mandate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_Palestine "Mandatory Palestine"), by Jewish investors from South Africa who wanted to support development in the local economy of the [Yishuv](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yishuv "Yishuv"). After the establishment of the state of [Israel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel "Israel") the company expanded its commercial and financial activities and was one of the first companies in the country whose shares were traded on the [Tel Aviv Stock Exchange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tel_Aviv_Stock_Exchange "Tel Aviv Stock Exchange"). In the early 1970s control of the company was acquired by [Bank Leumi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_Leumi "Bank Leumi"). From 1978 to 1996 [Shlomo Grofman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlomo_Grofman "Shlomo Grofman") served as President and [CEO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEO "CEO") of the company. In early 1997, [Lev Leviev](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev_Avnerovich_Leviev "Lev Avnerovich Leviev") acquired control of the company and Grofman left.

### Acquisition by Lev Leviev

\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Africa_Israel_Investments&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Acquisition by Lev Leviev")\]

In November 1996, the [diamond cutter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_cutter "Diamond cutter") and diamond merchant [Lev Leviev](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev_Avnerovich_Leviev "Lev Avnerovich Leviev") acquired control from [Bank Leumi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_Leumi "Bank Leumi");[\[1\]](#cite_note-1) he soon expanded the group’s activities into new markets and territories. Including: energy – Dor-Alon in Israel, US and Europe. Real Estate – AFI development, Russia, USA and Europe. Manufacturing – AFI Industries (by acquiring Packer Plada).

After the [2008 financial crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_financial_crisis "2008 financial crisis"), the company was hurt by the drop of real estate values in the United States, Russia and eastern Europe. It defaulted on a series of bonds and in 2010 it restructured 7.4 billion [shekels](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_new_shekel "Israeli new shekel") of debt.[\[2\]](#cite_note-2)

In 2016, the company sought a second debt settlement. In a recorded conversation that was leaked to [Israel Channel 10 News](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_Ten_\(Israel\) "Channel Ten (Israel)"), Lev Leviev is heard saying: "I shit on every bank, but they haven't been able to make me move a centimeter because I don't owe any of them money, to no bank in the world. I piss on every bank from above, even Rakefet" (referring to [Bank Leumi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_Leumi "Bank Leumi") CEO Rakefet Russak-Aminoach).[\[3\]](#cite_note-3)

The company became the subject of newspaper coverage in 2008, for Leviev's association with the construction of Israeli settlements on the [West Bank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank "West Bank"). The British Embassy in Israel was planning to move into the [Kirya Tower](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirya_Tower "Kirya Tower"), one of its buildings, but cancelled when these ties were revealed in the British media.[\[4\]](#cite_note-4)

In September 2009, Leviev's empire was on the verge of collapse. During the real estate bubble of the early 2000s, he had borrowed huge sums of money to acquire property around the world, including America. As American real estate prices plummeted and market values declined to less than half of what Leviev had paid for properties, so did the value of Africa Israel investments. Leviev said: "Our main mistake was the investments in the U.S."[\[5\]](#cite_note-5)

In 2009, Africa Israel's recently constructed private prison near [Beersheba](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beersheba "Beersheba") was banned by Israel's High Court of Justice. The prison had not yet been occupied when it was declared unconstitutional.[\[6\]](#cite_note-6)

In 2009, [BlackRock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackRock "BlackRock") divested from the company, allegedly "due to firm's involvement in West Bank settlement construction."[\[7\]](#cite_note-7)

Following campaigning by the [Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycott,_Divestment_and_Sanctions "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions") movement, in January 2010 [Danske Bank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danske_Bank "Danske Bank") added Africa Israel to the list of companies that fail its Socially Responsible Investment policy; a bank spokesman noted that it was acting in the interests of its customers by not 'placing their money in companies that violate international standards'.[\[8\]](#cite_note-danske-8) In October 2011, Africa Israel sold the [Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Life_Insurance_Company_Tower "Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower") for US$165 million, increasing its cash flow by $88 million.[\[9\]](#cite_note-9) In the third quarter 2011, Africa Israel made a NIS 148 million profit. The company recorded net gains in real estate investment for the first nine months of 2011 in the amount of NIS 712 million ($188 million), of which NIS 599 million ($159 million) were recorded in the third quarter.[\[10\]](#cite_note-10)

On 30 January 2014, the [Government Pension Fund of Norway](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Pension_Fund_of_Norway "Government Pension Fund of Norway") excluded Africa Israel Investments from its portfolio, citing "Serious violations of individuals' rights in situations of war or conflict."[\[11\]](#cite_note-11)

On 17 November 2014, the Cypriot AFI Development Plc, which did not file its 2012 financial results indicator report and delayed filing its 2013 financial results indicator until March 18, 2014, was fined by the Cyprus SEC for lack of transparency a violation of the section 13 (1) Law.[\[12\]](#cite_note-CyprusSECfine-12)
