‘Lucrative’ Business Deals Help Sustain Israel’s Campaign in Gaza, UN Report Says
ISRAEL, JUL 2 – The UN report details how over 60 companies, including major arms and tech firms, financially support Israel’s military and settlement activities linked to apartheid and genocide, the report says.
- The United Nations special rapporteur Francesca Albanese released a report on July 1, 2025, detailing corporate involvement in Israel’s military actions in Gaza and occupation of Palestinian territories.
- The report addresses Israel's military offensive in Gaza that began after a Hamas assault on October 7, 2023, which resulted in approximately 1,200 casualties and the capture of 251 hostages, with Gaza's Health Ministry reporting over 56,000 deaths since the conflict started.
- The document names over 60 companies, including arms firms Lockheed Martin and Leonardo, heavy machinery suppliers Caterpillar and HD Hyundai, and tech giants Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and IBM.
- It cites the July 2024 International Court of Justice ruling calling Israel’s occupation an act of aggression and warns that support for it may constitute complicity in international crimes under the Rome Statute.
- Albanese urges companies to divest from occupation-linked activities and calls on governments to impose arms embargoes and legal action, while Israel denies genocide allegations and cites self-defense rights.
