A new report by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese states that more than 60 companies—including arms manufacturers and tech giants— support Israeli military operations in Gaza, which she describes as part of an ongoing genocide.

Why it matters:

The 60 companies have come to help Israeli regime in its war on the Gaza Strip blocaked, as it has not still achieved any of its goals in Gaza that is to eliminate Hamas resistance group and liberated the Zioniust captives.

 

The big picture:

On October 7, 2023,  Hamas and several other Palestinian resistance groups launched coordinated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood from the Gaza Strip. Isreal with the U.S. support did a genocide in the strip. Until now, more than 60,000 palestinians have been killed and many others injured. The rest surviced are struggling with disease and starvation.

 

Key Points:

  • Lockheed Martin, Leonardo, Caterpillar, HD Hyundai, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, and Palantir are some of the very companies.
  • Supplying weapons used in Gaza, providing heavy machinery for demolitions, and enabling surveillance and AI tools for the Israeli military are among the services.
  • Tech firms are described as central to Israel’s surveillance apparatus and the ongoing Gaza destruction.
  • UN says companies must cease dealings with Israel and executives should be held accountable for violations of international law.
  • Israel and the U.S. have withdrawn from the UN Human Rights Council.
