The United Nations has added nearly 70 companies to a blacklist for their alleged complicity in violating Palestinian human rights through business ties to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The expanded list now comprises 158 firms, primarily Israeli, but also from the US, Canada, China, and several European nations. Companies involved in construction, real estate, and travel services are among those named. The UN human rights office emphasizes due diligence and calls on businesses to address adverse impacts, while Israel has criticized the list.
