The United Nations has added 61 companies to its list of businesses involved in activities related to illegal Israeli settlements, bringing the total to 214.
The UN Human Rights Office on Friday released a report adding 61 companies to its database, which are deemed to be involved in illegal Israeli settlement activities in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. This brings the total number of listed businesses to 214, spanning 11 countries, with the majority being Israeli companies and the remainder from China, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The report states that companies must engage in at least one prohibited activity, such as facilitating settlement construction, providing surveillance equipment, or banking services, to be included on the list. Newly added companies include Spain's Salvat Logistica and Israeli real estate investment holding company Alony Hetz, while Expedia, Trip Advisor, Airbnb, and Motorola were already on the list. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in July 2024 that Israeli settlements are "illegal" and demanded Israel withdraw from the occupied Palestinian territories, but the ruling is not legally binding.
