Supply Chain & Sourcing Relationships
-
Broadcom’s reviewed corporate materials and SEC filings do not identify sourcing from named Israeli agricultural exporters, an Israeli produce-importer entity, or Israeli-origin consumer-goods sales. 1, 2
-
No public evidence identified of Broadcom operations, resellers, sales locations, or service locations in West Bank settlements, East Jerusalem settlements, or the Golan Heights.
-
No public evidence identified of a verified Broadcom contract with Israel’s Ministry of Defense or the IDF in the reviewed corporate, procurement, and targeted-contract source classes.
-
The audit-supplied document pre-scan reported no Broadcom mentions in the specified OHCHR settlement-database updates, A/HRC/59/23, DBIO, PAX, Who Profits, HRW, Amnesty, Al-Haq, KLP, BDS-priority, and insurance-report materials, which is a document-scoped result rather than proof of database-wide absence. 1, 2
Product Origin, Labeling & Regulatory Compliance
-
Broadcom’s FY2024 filing states that it maintains design, product, and software-development engineering resources in Israel, but does not quantify Israeli staffing, facilities, revenue, manufacturing, or product origin. 2
-
Broadcom’s current sales-contact page lists locations at Nazareth Industrial Park, Block 16565, Nazareth, and Tel Aviv University, 17 George Weiss Street, Tel Aviv, without describing their functions, ownership, employee counts, or opening dates. 3
-
Broadcom’s general contact directory separately lists “Israel, Nazareth,” supporting a current company-listed Israeli location while providing no entity name, street address, workforce count, or activity description. 4
-
The reviewed sources do not establish Israeli manufacturing sites, Israeli-origin labeling, Israel-specific regulatory approvals, Preferred Technology Enterprise status, or Innovation Israel awards for Broadcom operations. 1, 2, 3
Investment, Capital & Financial Exposure
-
Broadcom’s 2025 proxy reports that, as of 21 February 2025, The Vanguard Group held 10.0% of common stock and BlackRock, Inc. held 7.4%. 5
-
The same proxy reports Henry Samueli at 1.9%, while Hock E. Tan and the other listed directors and executives held less than 1%, subject to the proxy’s reported share counts. 5
-
No public evidence identified of Broadcom holdings in Israeli sovereign bonds, Israel Bonds, Israeli arms manufacturers, settlement-linked companies, Israeli-state financing, or Israel-focused funds in the reviewed filings and audit-supplied NGO-report library.
-
No public evidence identified of controlling-principal investments by Hock E. Tan or other named Broadcom leadership in Israeli companies, settlement-linked entities, or Israeli defence companies within the reviewed search scope.
Operational Presence & Market Activity
-
Broadcom reported approximately 33,000 employees globally as of 2 November 2025, with approximately 49% in North America, 36% in Asia, and 15% in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, but it did not disclose an Israel-specific workforce figure. 1
-
Broadcom’s partner-support directory identifies C-Data and links to its Israel-domain VMware-by-Broadcom technical-support page, establishing an Israeli partner-support intermediary but not state, IDF, settlement, or specified end-customer sales. 6
-
Broadcom completed its acquisition of VMware on 22 November 2023, and its 2025 significant-subsidiary exhibit lists VMware International Unlimited Company, VMware LLC, VMware Global, Inc., and VMware Management Inc. 7, 8
-
The reviewed materials do not identify Israeli VMware entities, facilities, personnel, or post-acquisition operational activity. 7, 8
-
No public evidence identified of post-19 July 2024 or post-November 2024 settlement-linked or military-linked Broadcom activity in the reviewed materials.
Corporate Structure & Foundational Ties
-
Broadcom Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, has principal executive offices at 3421 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, California, and trades on Nasdaq under the symbol AVGO. 1
-
Broadcom’s 2025 significant-subsidiary exhibit identifies Avago Technologies International Sales Pte. Limited, Avago Technologies U.S. Inc., Broadcom Corporation, Broadcom Singapore Pte Ltd, Broadcom Technologies, Inc., CA, Inc., and several VMware entities among the group’s significant subsidiaries. 8
-
Because Exhibit 21.1 is expressly limited to significant subsidiaries, its omission of an Israeli-incorporated entity does not establish that no Israeli subsidiary exists. 8
-
A 1997 CA, Inc. subsidiary exhibit names C.A. Computer Associates Israel Ltd., and Broadcom announced its $18.9 billion cash acquisition of CA Technologies in July 2018; the reviewed materials do not establish that entity’s current ownership or operating status. 9, 10
-
A 2018 Broadcom corporate document names Broadcom Israel Research Ltd. but does not specify its ownership percentage, activities, location, employee count, tax status, or current status. 11
-
Broadcom announced an agreement to acquire Herzliya-headquartered VisionTech Ltd. in November 2000, and a subsequent filing states that Broadcom completed the acquisition in January 2001 and acquired substantially all VisionTech assets on 3 January 2001. 12, 13
-
Broadcom filed an agreement to acquire BroadLight, Inc. in March 2012, but the reviewed primary material does not establish the acquisition price, current entity status, Israeli employment, manufacturing, or a defence or settlement nexus. 14
-
Henry Samueli co-founded Broadcom Corporation and received almost all of his Broadcom Inc. shares through the February 2016 acquisition of Broadcom Corporation. 5
-
Broadcom’s 2025 proxy identifies Samueli as Chairman and Hock E. Tan as President, Chief Executive Officer, and director. 5
-
The reviewed primary records establish a Delaware-incorporated, Palo Alto-headquartered parent with historical and current Israeli-location indicators, but do not establish Israeli founding, Israeli headquarters, Israeli beneficial control, Israeli tax residency, Israeli state ownership, a golden share, government board appointments, or critical-national-infrastructure designation. 1, 4, 5, 9, 11
Profit Repatriation & Economic Contribution
-
Broadcom’s FY2025 filing does not disclose Israel-specific revenue, taxes paid, profit-repatriation flows, manufacturing output, or employee totals. 1
-
The FY2025 filing reports global workforce distribution by region, including a combined Europe, Middle East, and Africa category, rather than an Israel-specific economic contribution. 1
-
No public evidence identified of Israeli tax residency, Preferred Technology Enterprise treatment, Israeli tax payments, profit-repatriation flows, or Israel-specific revenues in the reviewed corporate disclosures.
-
Further entity-resolution work would require Israeli Companies Registrar extracts for Broadcom Israel Research Ltd. and relevant CA or VMware entities, reconciled against complete legal-entity and tax records if publicly available. 9, 11
