Gazit stated that FedEx will continue to provide innovative solutions to connect clients with global opportunities, leveraging its strong team, global reach, and customer-centric technologies.

FedEx has been operating in Israel for over 35 years, connecting local businesses to international markets through its extensive network. The company operates ten weekly wide-body cargo flights to and from Israel. Gazit's mandate includes further strengthening operational excellence and facilitating client access to key international markets via FedEx's global network.
