The UN Special Rapporteur says some of the world's largest companies are complicit in and profiting from Israel's actions in the occupied Palestinian territories. Francesca Albanese's landmark report identified Microsoft, Amazon and Google as just some of the major US tech firms helping Israel sustain its genocide in Gaza. But UN reports like this have no legal power. And Israel has rejected Albanese's findings as 'groundless', saying it would 'join the dustbin of history'. So, will big companies despite their financial interests, start to question their ties with Israel? And will consumers around the world bring commercial pressure on those implicated firms?
