UN's list of companies complicit in Israeli settlement activity more than doubles
The number of businesses that the UN has listed as operating in illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine has more than doubled, with the addition of 68 new firms.
The UN Human Rights Office released an updated list on Friday with a total of 158 companies, up from 97 in 2023 when the database was last released.
Most of the listed companies are based in Israel, but others are located in several European countries, China, Canada, the United Kingdom and the US.
New firms added include German-based Hedelberg Materials, Steconfer, a rail systems provider in Portugal, and Ineco, a Spanish transportation engineering company.
