Corruption in Israel is a legitimate problem and many investigations have taken place into allegations of influence peddling and bribery.[1][2]
Transparency International's 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index, which scored 180 countries on a scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("very clean"), gave Israel a score of 64. When ranked by score, Israel ranked 30th among the 180 countries in the Index, where the country ranked first is perceived to have the most honest public sector.[3] Compared to regional scores, the average score among Middle Eastern and North African countries[Note 1] was 39. The highest score among Middle Eastern and North African countries was 68 and the lowest score was 12).[4] For comparison with worldwide scores, the average score was 43, the best score was 90 (ranked 1), and the worst score was 8 (ranked 180).[5]
Corruption does not appear to be institutionalized and businesses can largely operate and invest in Israel without interference from corrupt officials.[6][additional citation(s) needed] The judiciary is considered by businesses to be at low risk of corruption; however, the public services sector is reported to have a moderate risk of corruption, with business leaders reporting the payment of bribes in exchange for access to public utilities, with an ineffective bureaucratic government being considered by some to be the source of the problem.[6]
In 2019 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was indicted for corruption, due to the acceptance of expensive gifts such as fine champagne and cigars totaling to a value of approximately $198,000.[7]
