Gas stations nationwide have begun prompting drivers with a new question at the point of sale: “Would you like to add a tip for Israel?” The optional surcharge, available in preset amounts of $1, $3, $5 or a custom figure, appears on pump screens and indoor payment terminals after customers select their fuel grade and payment method. A short accompanying message notes that the contribution supports “our great ally during a historic time.” Retailers said the feature was rolled out rapidly this week following quiet encouragement from the Trump administration and major fuel-brand partners. Station owners described the change as straightforward to implement and difficult for hurried drivers to ignore. “It’s just another prompt, like the ones for car washes or charity,” said one Midwest franchisee. “Most people hit ‘no,’ but some don’t.” The addition comes as average U.S. gasoline prices remain elevated amid the ongoing U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran and related disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Administration officials have framed the conflict as a necessary assertion of strength that will ultimately benefit American consumers. White House spokesmen welcomed the stations’ initiative, calling it a “voluntary expression of gratitude” that requires no new government program. Israeli officials issued a brief note of appreciation. Early reports indicate a modest percentage of transactions include a tip. Drivers interviewed at pumps offered a range of reactions, from automatic acceptance to visible irritation at the extra step required to decline. The prompt is expected to become standard at most major chains within days.
