Birmingham City Council passed a motion calling for a review of the city's investments, banking arrangements, and procurement contracts linked to Israel. The motion cites the International Court of Justice's July 2024 advisory opinion and United Nations findings regarding genocide in Gaza. The decision adds Birmingham to a growing number of UK local authorities debating whether their public spending is connected to the conflict.
Why now: Local councils' divestment and procurement decisions tied to the Gaza war remain a live and contested political issue in Britain.
