UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese slams corporate complicity in Gaza war & Israeli occupation
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese told Al Jazeera her landmark report exposes corporate complicity in Israel’s occupation and Gaza offensive, with nearly half the named companies engaging – albeit often defensively – after being confronted with evidence of breaching international law.She emphasised that while not all firms are genocide enablers, those supplying military tech or profiting from settlements have "crossed red lines," citing Lockheed Martin and Airbnb as examples.
Albanese detailed how Israel’s economy has boomed during Gaza’s destruction, with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange gaining $220bn, calling this an "economy of occupation."
She urged legal accountability, stressing existing frameworks allow prosecutions for firms sustaining war crimes.
When asked about public complicity, Albanese acknowledged consumer ties to companies like Booking.com but stressed collective power to boycott or pressure them, revealing she quit Airbnb over its settlement listings.
Comparing this to South African apartheid divestment, she argued current outrage could force change, noting historic precedents where businesses faced consequences for enabling atrocities.
The report, she said, aims not to disrupt markets but to enforce ethical boundaries when "civilians are starved and pulverised."
Albanese concluded by framing this as a pivotal moment to halt corporate profiteering from oppression.
