UN Blacklists 68 More Firms Over Israeli Settlement Rights Violations
The UN has added nearly 70 companies from 11 countries to its blacklist for allegedly supporting Israeli settlements in the West Bank, highlighting concerns over human rights violations and international law. The list now includes 158 companies, mostly Israeli, with some from the US, Europe, and China, and aims to name and shame firms linked to settlement activities. Israel strongly rejects the list, calling it unjustified, amid ongoing tensions over settlement expansion and potential annexation plans.
