Rosenberg Rejects Offers to Sell Stake in El Al Amid Soaring Valuation

Kenny Rosenberg's investment in El Al, made in 2020 when the airline was near collapse, has become highly successful, with his family's stake now valued at $1.5 billion, a 6.6-fold return. Rosenberg has rejected offers to sell his shares, believing the company's potential is not fully realized. The airline has also seen significant financial and operational improvements, but faces increased competition as foreign carriers return, and consumers pay high ticket prices partly subsidized by state security funding.
