UN adds 61 companies to database of firms linked to Israeli settlements
The UN human rights office added 61 companies to its database of businesses engaged in activities linked to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, bringing the total to 214 firms across 11 countries. The database, first published in 2020, names companies the UN says are involved in activities violating Palestinian human rights. Israel rejected the list, calling it a discriminatory mechanism targeting legitimate businesses.
