Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, released the report late Monday, describing Israel’s war as a “genocidal campaign” that profits major corporations.

"“While life in Gaza is being obliterated and the West Bank is under escalating assault, this report shows why Israel's genocide continues: because it is lucrative for many,” Albanese wrote in her 27-page report.

The investigation draws on more than 200 submissions from states, rights groups, academics, and private firms.

Allegations from the report:

  • Over 60 companies from sectors including arms manufacturing, tech, and construction are named.

  • Lockheed Martin and Leonardo are accused of supplying weapons used in Gaza bombings.

  • Caterpillar and HD Hyundai allegedly provided machinery used in home demolitions and destruction in Palestinian areas.

  • Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, and Palantir are described as “central” to Israeli surveillance and military tech operations.

  • Palantir reportedly offers AI support to Israeli forces, though the report lacks detailed examples.
