‘Lucrative’ Business Deals Help Sustain Israel’s Campaign in Gaza, UN Report Says

  • On July 3, 2025, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese presented a report in Geneva to the UN Human Rights Council, highlighting corporate connections to Israel’s military actions in Gaza.
  • The report follows escalating violence since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack and Israel's subsequent war, which the Gaza Health Ministry says has killed over 56,000 people and reduced Gaza to rubble.
  • It names over 60 companies, including Lockheed Martin, Leonardo, Caterpillar, HD Hyundai, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM, accusing them of enabling occupation, surveillance, and destruction in Gaza and Palestinian territories.
  • Albanese argued that companies are deeply involved in an economic system that supports ongoing atrocities, while Israel’s mission dismissed the report as baseless and defamatory, and the US mission urged UN Secretary-General Guterres to denounce Albanese’s actions.
  • The report urges businesses to end their commercial relationships with Israel, cautions that supporting the occupation may amount to involvement in international law violations, and exposes how major financial institutions and investors contribute to sustaining the conflict through their funding.
