“Florida Stands with Israel” license plate reaches threshold to begin production

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — “Florida Stands with Israel” specialty license plates will soon be seen on cars across the state after reaching the required 3,000 pre-sales, according to the Israel-American Council.

The license plates will be available in early 2025 for $66.90, including registration, according to the IAC. $25 from each license plate will go to Hatzalah South Florida.

“I am pleased to announce that the ‘Florida Stands with Israel’ license plate has reached the production threshold,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a statement. “Florida and Israel share a special bond and an enduring friendship.”

The specialty license plates were requested by the Israeli-American Coalition for Action and were designed by Florida State University graduate Daniel Ackerman. His design was chosen from a public competition from over 100 entries. The design includes the Florida state flower, an orange and the Israeli flag.

“Four years ago, we set out to create a tangible symbol of Florida’s support for Israel,” IAC CEO Elan Carr said in a statement. “This license plate is a testament to the enduring friendship between Florida and Israel and our organization’s commitment to strengthening that bond. As these plates begin to appear on Florida vehicles, they will serve as mobile reminders of the strong ties between Florida and Israel and reflect the shared values ​​that unite our communities.”

Those who pre-ordered the license plate will pay an additional $36.90 when the plate is picked up.

Pre-orders for the specialty plate were no longer available as of Tuesday evening while the state begins production on the initial batch of pre-orders, according to IAC. Once the first batch of plates is produced, the state will create more based on demand.
