“I studied this day after day for 630 days and, to be honest, after five months I can say that it was genocide. You don't have to be a scientist to tell what is genocide. Just connect the dots “ She told “Guardian” Albanese.
The UN special reporter's report is entitled “From the economics of the occupation to the economy of genocide” and analyzes the involvement of international corporations in providing weapons and heavy equipment used to balance Palestinian districts in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank of Jordan, agricultural companies selling products from illegal estates and investment companies helping to finance the war.

The report states that the Israeli army took advantage of the “largest defense order program” on the F-35 fighter in history, produced by Lockheed Martin with the involvement of over 1,600 other producers and eight countries. Leonardo was also indicated as a beneficiary of the conflict.
Technological giants, such as Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and IBM, were named “key elements of the Israeli supervision apparatus and ongoing destruction of gases”. The American technology company Palantir is particularly criticized in the Albanese report for a close partnership with the Israeli defensive forces (IDF), with which the company agreed on a strategic partnership, so that Palantir would help in “war -related missions”.

Albanese also criticizes the report Manufacturers of heavy equipment, such as Caterpillar Inc, HD Hyundai or Volvo, for the alleged supply of heavy machines used for mass demolition of housesmosques and infrastructure in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank.
The report noted that Israel helped to pay for the war and the resulting deep budget deficits, selling tax bonds. “Some of the largest banks in the world, including BNP Paribas and Barclays, have taken action to increase market trust by guaranteeing these international and national tax bonds, which allowed Israel to limit the interest bonus, despite the reduction of credit rating,” he explained in the report.
Asset management companies were also indicated, including Pimco (belonging to the German company providing financial services by Allianz) and Vanguard, as the main buyers of Israeli treasury bonds.
