US Edition‘Lucrative’ Business Deals Help Sustain Israel’s Campaign in Gaza, UN Report Says
- The UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese published a report naming over 60 companies aiding Israel's military actions and settlements amid the war in Gaza, which has killed more than 56,000 people.
- The report addresses Israel's military response in Gaza that began in October 2023, following a Hamas assault on October 7 which resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths and the capture of 251 hostages, raising serious concerns about the humanitarian consequences of the ongoing conflict.
- The report identifies defense contractors Lockheed Martin and Leonardo, heavy equipment providers including Caterpillar and HD Hyundai, as well as major technology companies Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM, for their involvement in facilitating Israel’s surveillance operations and military activities.
- The report urges companies to end their business relations with Israel and seeks to hold accountable executives suspected of involvement in breaches of international law.
- Israel and the US disengaged from the UN Human Rights Council earlier this year citing bias, while the report suggests corporate profit from the occupation fuels the ongoing conflict and destruction in Gaza.
