| ABNB | AIRBNB INC CLASS A | Airbnb operates the world's largest short-term rental marketplace with more than 12.7 million listings across 220 countries, and that platform has included properties in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank since at least 2018. According to AFSC Investigate, Airbnb listed properties in at least 56 illegal settlements in the West Bank and at least 18 in the occupied Golan Heights as of 2022, and a 2025 count by coalition human rights organizations put the current figure at over 300 properties in settlements deemed illegal under international law by the International Court of Justice. In November 2018, Airbnb announced it would remove approximately 200 West Bank settlement listings, explicitly concluding that those listings "contributed to existing human suffering." Within months, facing legal challenges from Israeli settlers and diplomatic pushback from the Israeli government, Airbnb reversed the decision entirely and restored the listings. The platform excluded listings in Russian-occupied Crimea — first under sanctions pressure and later suspended all Russian operations following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine — making the West Bank carve-out a policy choice rather than an operational constraint. As of mid-2025, Airbnb faces coordinated multi-jurisdictional criminal complaints in the United States, United Kingdom, and Ireland. The Global Legal Action Network, Al-Haq, and Sadaka Ireland allege that collecting payment for rentals on properties situated within what the ICJ has declared an illegal occupation constitutes money laundering under UK and Irish law. The UN included Airbnb in its 2020 database of companies operating in the occupied Palestinian territory, where it remains. |
| SKBN | Shikun & Binui Ltd | Shikun & Binui, through its subsidiaries, is a major Israeli construction and infrastructure company whose operations are deeply embedded in occupied Palestinian territories. Its subsidiary Solel Boneh has constructed housing projects in the illegal settlements of Homat Shmuel (Har Homa), Ariel, Imanuel, and Modi'in Illit, and has supplied materials for military checkpoints. Solel Boneh also operates a factory for construction materials in Kiryat Sefer, a neighborhood within the Modi'in Illit settlement. Another subsidiary, Housing and Construction Real Estate Development (Shikun Ovdim), has built housing projects in Modi'in Illit and in the Ramot neighborhood of East Jerusalem, which is beyond the Green Line. The company's activities extend to security infrastructure that enforces the occupation. In 2016, Solel Boneh began constructing a new concrete wall on Israel's border with the Gaza Strip, a pilot project for a barrier designed to eventually encircle the entire territory and extend dozens of feet underground. This involvement in building the separation wall and checkpoints constitutes material support for activities in occupied territories. The company's role has drawn significant international censure; Norway’s Government Pension Fund Global excluded Shikun & Binui in 2012, stating its financing of settlement building in East Jerusalem constituted a "breach of international humanitarian law." Danish pension fund PKA Ltd. followed with an exclusion in 2014. |
| WSP | WSP Global Inc. | WSP Global Inc. provides systems engineering, design, and monitoring services for the Jerusalem Light Rail (JLR) project. This Israeli public tramway system connects and services illegal settlements in occupied East Jerusalem, territory considered occupied under international law. In September 2022, Al-Haq and Just Peace Advocates, supported by over 100 organizations and former UN officials, submitted a formal report to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights calling for WSP's inclusion in the UN database of businesses operating in illegal settlements. The submission argues that by planning, designing, and maintaining infrastructure that facilitates the expansion and integration of settlements, WSP is involved in activities that raise serious human rights concerns and may constitute war crimes. The company's role is integral to the project's extension. As recently as February 2024, industry reports confirmed WSP's involvement in a public-private partnership to extend the JLR's Red Line, with the company stating it provided the systems architecture. This existing Red Line has stops in six illegal settlement neighborhoods. By enabling and maintaining this settlement transportation infrastructure, WSP materially supports activities in occupied territory, contravening international humanitarian law and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, which require enhanced due diligence in conflict-affected areas. |
| WSPOF | WSP Global Inc | WSP Global Inc. has been contracted to plan, design, maintain, and extend the Jerusalem Light Rail (JLR), an Israeli public tramway system. This infrastructure project connects and services illegal Israeli settlements in occupied and annexed East Jerusalem, facilitating the movement of settlers into the occupied Palestinian territory. The company's role as the monitoring company for the project includes reviewing designs, monitoring quality and progress on behalf of the State of Israel, and ensuring the project is completed to specification. In September 2022, Al-Haq and Just Peace Advocates submitted a report endorsed by over 100 organizations to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, calling for WSP's inclusion in the UN database of businesses operating in illegal Israeli settlements. The submission argues that by providing transport services supporting the maintenance of settlements, WSP is involved in activities that raise particular human rights concerns. As reported in February 2024, WSP remains part of a public-private partnership to extend the existing red line of the JLR, which has stops in six illegal settlement neighborhoods in occupied East Jerusalem. |
| ESLT | Elbit Systems Ltd | Elbit Systems Ltd is Israel's largest privately-owned weapons manufacturer, supplying munitions, combat vehicles, drones, and surveillance systems primarily to the Israeli military. The company's equipment is integral to military operations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Its electronic detection systems are used in the separation barrier in the West Bank, which the International Court of Justice has ruled is illegal where built on occupied land. A 2025 United Nations Human Rights Council report (A/HRC/59/23) listed corporate entities implicated in human rights violations in the occupied Palestinian territory, highlighting how such companies enable structural violations. The company's surveillance technology, including drones and electronic warfare systems, is routinely deployed in the occupied territories. Investigative reports, including from AFSC Investigate, document that Elbit's weapons are used in operations against Palestinian civilians. The company works closely with the Israeli Ministry of Defense and benefits from this relationship, with its products forming a core part of the military infrastructure sustaining the occupation. |
| XOM | Exxon Mobil Corporation | ExxonMobil has supplied fuel to the Israeli military under U.S. Department of Defense contracts since at least 2003, according to the AFSC Investigate database. The contracts, executed through the Foreign Military Sales program, have included JP-8 aviation fuel designated for Israel's AH-64 Apache attack helicopters and F-15 and F-16 fighter-bombers, as well as EN590 diesel fuel for Merkava tanks, armored vehicles, and military transport. Additional aviation fuel contracts were awarded in 2005, 2010, and 2011. Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and United Nations investigators have documented the use of Apache helicopters and F-15/F-16 aircraft in operations that resulted in civilian casualties and alleged war crimes in Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza. The fuel supply relationship is not incidental. It is a recurring, contract-based commercial relationship through which ExxonMobil provides material support to military operations conducted in and over occupied Palestinian territories. AFSC lists ExxonMobil among companies profiting from the occupation on the basis of these defense contracts. |
| CNHI | CNH Industrial N.V. | CNH Industrial N.V., a multinational manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment, provides machinery and services used in infrastructure projects within occupied Palestinian territories. According to the AFSC Investigate database, the company's equipment is utilized by Israeli contractor Einav Ahets, which is carrying out at least three road construction projects for the state-owned Netivei Israel in the occupied West Bank. These projects are part of the infrastructure network serving illegal settlements. The international community, including the United Nations, considers Israel’s settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory to be a violation of international law. By supplying the capital goods used to build and expand settlement infrastructure, CNH Industrial materially supports activities that entrench the occupation. The company's own Responsible Sourcing Guidelines state that a lack of cooperation on human rights may lead to loss of business, yet there is no public evidence of CNH Industrial taking steps to prevent its equipment from being used in these unlawful projects. |
| 000553 | Adama Ltd. | ADAMA Agricultural Solutions (formerly Makhteshim Agan Industries), an Israeli chemical manufacturer specializing in pesticides owned by ChemChina, appears on the 2020 UN OHCHR database of 112 companies doing business in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory. According to the Who Profits research center, ADAMA employs regional specialists and distributors in multiple illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and Golan Heights, and its products have been used by agricultural research and development centers in illegal settlements. Beyond settlement activity, ADAMA's herbicide Diuron (Diurex) has been used by a contractor of the Israeli military for aerial spraying to destroy vegetation along Israel's border wall with Gaza. The Red Cross confirmed that these herbicides destroyed crops and contaminated water sources within 3,000 feet of the border; damage extended up to 1.3 miles inside the Gaza Strip. During the 2017-2018 winter spraying season alone, the herbicides affected 544 acres of agricultural lands and 2,570 acres of pasture. |
| FIBIH.TA | F.I.B.I. Holdings Ltd. | FIBI Holdings Ltd. is the controlling shareholder of First International Bank of Israel (FIBI), one of Israel's largest banks. The bank provides essential financial services that facilitate and sustain Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. These settlements are established in violation of international law, and their continued existence constitutes an ongoing breach of fundamental human rights. According to a 2018 Human Rights Watch report, "Bankrolling Abuse: Israeli Banks in West Bank Settlements," Israeli banks, including FIBI, provide loans and mortgages for settlement construction and offer financial services to local and regional settlement councils. These activities are integral to the settlements' economic viability and expansion. On 25 June 2025, Norway's Council on Ethics recommended the exclusion of both First International Bank of Israel and its parent company, FIBI Holdings Ltd., due to their contribution to serious violations of international humanitarian law. Norges Bank implemented this exclusion on 25 August 2025. |
| DLEKG | Delek Group Ltd. | Delek Group Ltd. is an Israeli conglomerate whose operations materially support activities in occupied territories in violation of international law. The company is involved in construction and infrastructure projects within illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. In February 2020, the United Nations Human Rights Council listed Delek Group among companies with activities linked to Israel's settlement enterprise in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, a finding reiterated in subsequent UN reports. The company's activities in the occupied West Bank have drawn formal legal complaints against its business partners. In October 2025, Greenpeace filed a complaint under Norway's Transparency Act alleging that Equinor's relationship with Delek Group contributes to violations of Palestinian rights. Similar allegations surfaced in December 2024 and January 2026 regarding the flow of profits from Equinor's Rosebank oil field to Delek, with claims this could breach international law due to the company's operations in occupied territory. |
| POLI | Bank Hapoalim B.M. | Bank Hapoalim B.M. provides essential banking and financial services that facilitate the construction and expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. As one of Israel's largest banks, it maintains branches and offers mortgages, loans, and commercial banking within these settlements, which are considered illegal under international law. This activity materially supports the infrastructure and permanence of the settlements. The bank’s involvement has been specifically documented by research organizations focused on the occupation. For instance, AFSC Investigate and Who Profits have identified Bank Hapoalim as deeply involved in financing illegal settlement construction. A 2022 divestment motion at the University of British Columbia cited the bank’s role in human rights violations against Palestinians as grounds for divestment. While the bank has not publicly responded to these specific allegations, its ongoing operations within the settlements constitute a direct and material link to the occupation. |
| CEL | Cellcom Israel Ltd. | Cellcom Israel Ltd. operates telecommunications infrastructure and provides cellular services within Israel and the occupied territories. The company’s network extends into the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Syrian Golan Heights, providing essential connectivity and infrastructure to Israeli settlements there. According to research by Who Profits, Cellcom’s active antennas and services materially support these settlements, which are widely considered illegal under international law and exist within active conflict zones. Providing commercial services to settlements in occupied territories directly supports their permanence and economic viability. This activity integrates the company into the ongoing conflict, as these settlements are a core point of contention and violence. No evidence suggests Cellcom’s operations in these areas serve as the sole or indispensable source of essential civilian infrastructure for the Palestinian population; rather, the services primarily sustain the settlement enterprise. |
| MSI | Motorola Solutions, Inc. | Motorola Solutions provides surveillance and communications systems to Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. Its subsidiary, Motorola Israel, has been documented by Who Profits and AFSC Investigate as supplying the MotoEagle Wide surveillance system to the illegal settlement of Ofra, built on expropriated Palestinian land. The company’s products are integrated into the security infrastructure of settlements considered illegal under international law. Motorola Solutions has been included in the United Nations database of businesses involved in activities that help maintain Israeli settlements. A 2025 report to the UN Human Rights Council cited evidence of the company’s involvement in settlement expansion over the past decade. While Motorola Solutions states it provides systems to customers in over 100 countries and has human rights policies in place, its specific and sustained provision of technology to settlements in occupied territories forms the basis of this exclusion. |
| HPE | Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company | Hewlett Packard Enterprise maintains active, expanding contracts with Israeli government agencies that directly service the occupation infrastructure. In May 2023, HPE (Israel) was contracted as sole supplier by the Population and Immigration Authority to provide Itanium servers, services, and maintenance for the Aviv population registry system through June 2026 (NIS 3.8M / ~USD 818K). The Aviv system contains data on Palestinians in occupied territories. In July 2024, HPE was selected by the Israeli military to lead a new underground server farm project. HPE also retains ongoing contracts with the Israeli Prison Authority, Israeli Police, and Ministry of Interior. WhoProfits documents HPE's R&D center in Beitar Illit, an illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank, and direct contracts with Modi'in Illit and Ariel settlements. Over 100 trade unions and civil society organizations have demanded HPE's inclusion in the OHCHR database of businesses complicit in Israel's settlement enterprise. |
| TXT | Textron Inc. | Textron Inc. manufactures military platforms supplied to Israel and used in operations in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The Israeli Air Force operates multiple Textron-manufactured aircraft: Bell 206 JetRanger and OH-58 Kiowa helicopters, plus Beechcraft King Air, Queen Air, RC-12D Guardrail, and Bonanza A-36 surveillance and utility aircraft. The IAF 100 Squadron, which has provided direct support to ground operations in Gaza, uses several of these Textron platforms. Textron derives approximately $3.37 billion in annual defense revenue (25% of total revenue, per its other exclusion records). AFSC Investigate identifies Textron as part of an oligopoly of defense contractors benefiting from sales to the Palestinian captive market. The Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) lists Textron among companies with investments linked to activities in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Bell Textron also delivered a Bell 407GXi to Israeli commercial operators in 2022. |
| TKAMY | Thyssenkrupp | Thyssenkrupp’s Marine Systems division has a long-standing supply relationship with the Israeli Navy. According to the WhoProfits research center, the company has supplied Israel with Dolphin-class submarines and Sa’ar 6-class corvettes. These vessels are used by the Israeli Navy, which operates in and enforces the blockade of the Gaza Strip, a territory under Israeli occupation. In December 2024, Norway’s largest pension fund, KLP, excluded Thyssenkrupp from its portfolio. The fund stated the exclusion was due to the company’s sale of corvettes and submarines to Israel, which are used in ways that represent “serious and systematic breaches of international law.” KLP cited the company’s independent duty to avoid complicity in violations of fundamental human rights and humanitarian law. The fund’s decision followed a warning from UN experts in June 2024 that the transfer of weapons and ammunition to Israel may constitute serious violations and risk complicity in international crimes. |
| PYPL | PayPal Holdings Inc | PayPal Holdings Inc operates a global online payments platform that provides services in Israel, including in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The company’s services are available to settlers and businesses operating in these territories, which are considered illegal under international law. AFSC Investigate lists PayPal among companies that service illegal settlements and military bases in the occupied West Bank. Human rights organizations and members of the U.S. Congress have documented and protested PayPal’s discriminatory market access policies. In 2021, dozens of organizations called on PayPal to end its denial of services to Palestinians in the occupied territories, while the company continued to offer its platform in Israeli settlements. Eleven members of Congress reiterated this demand in 2023, highlighting the disparate access to the digital economy. This dual policy facilitates economic activity in settlements while restricting Palestinian development. |
| GD | General Dynamics Corp. | General Dynamics Corporation is a major U.S. defense contractor that supplies weapons and munitions to the Israeli military, which are used in the occupied Palestinian territories. The company manufactures Mark 84 2,000-pound bombs and 155mm artillery shells, which have been extensively supplied to Israel and used in military operations in Gaza, according to AFSC Investigate. These weapons sales materially support military activities in territories considered occupied under international law. Human rights organizations, including Al-Haq, Al Mezan, B'Tselem, and Amnesty International, have published evidence of potential war crimes in these conflicts involving munitions like those General Dynamics produces. The company's role as a key arms supplier links its operations directly to the ongoing occupation. AFSC Investigate lists General Dynamics on its divestment list for companies complicit in Israel's settlement enterprise and military actions in the occupied territories. |
| R3NK | RENK Group AG | RENK Group AG manufactures and supplies tank transmissions used by the Israeli military in occupied Palestinian territories. According to AFSC Investigate, the company produces transmissions for Israel's Merkava battle tanks. These military vehicles are deployed in the ongoing occupation of the West Bank and have been used in military operations in Gaza. In February 2026, Germany's Federal Constitutional Court dismissed a Palestinian plaintiff's constitutional complaint, allowing RENK to continue exporting these tank transmissions to Israel. The company's CEO has publicly stated that RENK would consider relocating production to the United States if required to maintain these sales, indicating the materiality of this business line to its operations. By providing essential components for military equipment used to sustain an occupation considered illegal under international law, RENK Group materially supports activities in occupied territories. |
| SNT | Senstar Technologies Ltd | Senstar Technologies is a wholly owned subsidiary of Magal Security Systems, which claims 40% of the global perimeter security market. Magal has served as a major contractor for the Israeli Ministry of Defense, installing Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS) along 170 km of the West Bank separation barrier. The company's technology is deployed across multiple illegal settlements. Ariel, described as a "showpiece project," uses Magal's WLAN mesh network and PIDS for remote monitoring. Alfei Menashe, Karnei Shomron, Shilo, and Ma'ale Adumim also use Magal perimeter systems. Senstar's "Smart-M" technology was explicitly identified in United Nations report A/HRC/43/71, which catalogues companies with economic activities in illegal settlements. Queen's University research on Canadian-Israeli defense ties, Shock Monitor, and the European Coordination of Committees and Associations for Palestine (ECCP) corroborate these deployments. |
| PTNR | Partner Communications Co. | Partner Communications Co. Ltd. is one of Israel's largest cellular service providers, operating hundreds of antennas and communication facilities. These facilities are documented as being built on confiscated privately owned Palestinian land within the occupied West Bank, including in unauthorized outposts like Migron. The company provides essential telecommunications infrastructure and services to illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. Non-governmental organizations, including AFSC Investigate, have explicitly cited Partner Communications as being complicit in the occupation. The company's extensive network of antennas directly facilitates and supports the expansion of settlements, which the international community considers illegal under international law. By operating this infrastructure within occupied territories, the company is materially supporting activities that perpetuate the occupation. |
| DUKR | Unknown | Duke Robotics Corp. (formerly UAS Drone Corp., ticker DUKR) is an Israeli military drone company headquartered in Tirat Carmel, Israel, founded in 2014 by Israeli military veterans. The company's flagship product is the TIKAD, an octocopter drone that mounts assault rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, or grenade launchers. The Israeli military procured TIKAD drones beginning in 2017. In 2021, Duke partnered with Elbit Systems — Israel's largest weapons manufacturer — to globally market, produce, and further develop the TIKAD platform, now branded "Birds of Prey." The system was featured on Israeli Channel 14 News as part of the IDF's drone warfare capabilities during the "Iron Swords" war in Gaza. AFSC Investigate flags Duke Robotics for involvement in occupied territories. The company develops lethal drone systems purpose-built for the Israeli military and deployed in operations in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. |
| MAERSK-B | AP Moller – Maersk | A.P. Moller – Maersk is named in United Nations reports for transporting goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, thereby sustaining trade with these territories in violation of international law. The UN Special Rapporteur’s 2025 report identifies the company as integral to this ecosystem, allegedly shipping components, parts, weapons, and raw materials. A 2025 Danwatch investigation alleged Maersk transported thousands of tonnes of weapons parts to Israel, raising questions about compliance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. While Maersk states it upholds a strict policy against shipping weapons or ammunition to active conflict zones, its broader logistics operations continue to facilitate trade with and from occupied territories. The company is listed on the AFSC Investigate database for its activities related to the Occupied Palestinian Territories. |
| MZTF | Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Ltd. | Mizrahi Tefahot Bank finances the construction of illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. The bank provides mortgages and loans for settlement housing projects built on occupied land, directly supporting the settlement enterprise. This activity has been documented by the UN Human Rights Council database of business enterprises involved in settlement activities, which lists the bank for its financial services in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The Council on Ethics for Norway’s Government Pension Fund Global concluded that the bank’s financing of settlements contributes to violations of international humanitarian law. In August 2025, Norges Bank excluded Mizrahi Tefahot from the fund, citing the bank’s role in an ongoing breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The settlements it finances are considered illegal under international law, and their expansion entrenches the occupation. |
| RMAX | RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. | RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. operates an international real estate franchise network that facilitates the sale and rental of properties in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The United Nations Human Rights Council has listed RE/MAX in its database of companies with economic or trade dealings in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. AFSC Investigate documents that RE/MAX franchise brokerages are active in multiple illegal settlements, directly participating in the settlement real estate market. This activity materially supports the operations of settlements considered illegal under international law. A 2016 shareholder proposal sought to compel the company to report on risks associated with these operations, indicating longstanding concerns. By enabling the transfer of property in occupied territories, RE/MAX’s business conduct is linked to the ongoing displacement and dispossession of Palestinian communities. |
