flag Israel ranks last in global brand index for second year, hit by war in Gaza and declining global favor.

flag Israel ranked last in the 2025 Nation Brands Index for the second year in a row, with its score dropping 6.1%—the largest single-year decline in the index’s history—due to widespread global criticism of both its government and citizens, particularly over the war in Gaza. flag Negative perceptions, especially among younger generations in Western Europe and East Asia, have fueled boycotts, damaged exports, and hurt tourism, while favorable views in the U.S. and Europe hit historic lows. flag Despite strong performance in science and technology, Israel’s international reputation lags behind its economic and social achievements, prompting a new global outreach strategy.
