How Foreign States and Corporations Enable Israel’s Illegal Settlement Enterprise
We support calls for the European Union, the United Kingdom and others in the international community more broadly to implement laws that ban all trade, including investments and the provision of services, with businesses that
are based in or operate from illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. We believe that any trade with Israeli settlements legitimises their presence on illegally occupied territory,
undermines the viability of a future Palestinian state, and exacerbates the poverty of Palestinians. Without prejudice to the respective positions taken by organisations endorsing this report, this report does not call for a boycott of
Israel, or of Israeli corporations not involved in the settlement economy. The report is produced by the signatory organisations below and has benefited from research contributions by Who Profits Research Center and the Palestine
Economic Policy Research Institute (MAS)
