Lander's Pension Funds Invest in Elbit Amid Israel Criticism
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
New York City Comptroller Brad Lander is under scrutiny for increasing the citys public pension funds investments in Elbit Systems, an Israeli arms manufacturer, while criticizing Israels actions in Gaza. Lander, who plans to challenge Congressman Dan Goldman in 2026, argues that Goldmans support for Israel makes him unfit to serve the district. However, Landers own pension fund investments in Elbit complicate his stance, as he has publicly praised these investments. The Teachers Retirement System holds over one million dollars in Elbit shares, a significant increase since Lander became comptroller. Lander maintains that he does not personally select every investment, but his campaign strategy is now overshadowed by the pension fund investments.
