UN Expert Says Firms 'Profiting' From 'Genocide' of Palestinians
- Francesca Albanese, the United Nations' independent expert on human rights in the Palestinian territories, released a report accusing Israel of genocide and identifying more than 60 companies profiting from and complicit in the ongoing conflict.
- The report follows a background of rising violence in the West Bank and Gaza, including settler attacks causing 633 Palestinian deaths and 340 injuries in early 2025.

- Israel rejected Albanese's report as 'groundless' and a 'flagrant abuse of office', while UN experts and African, Asian, and Arab states supported calls for disinvestment and sanctions.

In a new report, Francesca Albanese describes how the Israeli economy uses the massacre in Gaza to make profits. Profits also made by many foreign companies, accused of complicity.
Bret Stephens: What ‘globalize the intifada’ really means
There are rich and legitimate debates to be had about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and U.S. policy toward it.. But a major candidate who plainly refuses to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” is giving moral comfort to people who deliberately murder innocent Jews.
