The UN expert calls on global companies to be “accomplices of genocide and to take advantage of the occupation” in Palestine.
The United Nations Special Rapporteur claims that some of the world’s largest companies are accomplices and benefiting from the actions of Israel in the occupied Palestinian territory.
The Landmark report of Francesca Albanese has identified Microsoft, Amazon and Google as some of the large technological companies in the United States helping Israel to maintain its genocide in Gaza.
But the reports of the UN like this have no legal power. And Israel rejected the conclusions of Albanians as “baseless”, claiming that it “would join the bin of history”.
So, large companies, despite their financial interests, will they start to question their links with Israel?
And will consumers around the world do business pressure on these companies involved?
