UN expands blacklist of Israeli firms in West Bank settlements
Original: UN expands 'blacklist' of Israeli companies in West Bank settlements to 138
The United Nations has expanded its list of companies with business ties to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, adding firms to bring the total to 138. The database, maintained by the UN Human Rights Council, is intended to press companies to end activities linked to settlements, which most of the international community considers illegal. Israel rejects the blacklist, calling it politically motivated, while human rights groups welcomed the expansion.
Why now: The UN's decision to expand the list to 138 companies is fresh and contentious news in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
