New York’s state comptroller left Saturday for a weeklong trip to Israel where he will hold a series of meetings focusing on the state’s pension fund investments in Israeli bonds.

Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, a Democrat, plans to meet with government officials and review the state’s sizeable investments.

DiNapoli is scheduled to return to New York at the end of next week.
