Every year Coca Cola bankrolls the American-Israel Chamber of Commerce Awards which honors companies that have contributed most to the Israeli economy. In 2009 a Coca-Cola sponsored award went to Israel’s Lobby AIPAC for its lobbying of the Senate to reject of the UN call for "immediate ceasefire" and endorse the continuation of the Israel military assault on Gaza.
In 2008 Coca-Cola tasked the Israeli venture capital Challenge Fund to locate suitable investments in Israel with a promise of "a blank cheque” . This agreement is exceptional in the Israeli venture capital industry.

In 1998, a group of Palestinian businessmen came together with one vision in mind: establishing a company that delivers the highest quality product while creating sustainable opportunities for the Palestinian people. Now, fourteen years later, the National Beverage Company Coca – Cola/Cappy is thriving, and leading the way for a new kind of business.
A red value tree is painted on the wall of the entrance of the company's headquarters in Ramallah. Phrases such as "life is hope" and "success is a challenge" are written on the branches climbing toward the sky. NBC is rooted in Palestine. Its red Coca – Cola logo is seen from Gaza to Jenin,representing the passion of a company devoted to spearheading economic and social development.
