Company | Country | Activity |
---|---|---|
Allianz | ![]() |
Allianz subsidiary PIMCO has purchased almost $1 billion in Israeli government bonds since the October 7 attacks.[1] A June 2025 UN expert's report said that Allianz was enabling "genocide" through its investments.[2][3] |
Amazon | ![]() |
Amazon provides AWS cloud computing services to the Israeli military through Project Nimbus. Amazon's servers are used to store surveillance intelligence on Gaza's population. They have also provided targeting information used in airstrikes that killed civilians. According to a +972 Magazine investigation, intelligence stored on AWS "was used in a number of cases to provide 'supplementary information' ahead of airstrikes against suspected military operatives, some of which killed many civilians." This information "even helped on rare occasions to confirm aerial assassination strikes in Gaza — strikes that would have also killed and harmed Palestinian civilians."[4][5] In June 2025, Amazon was named by a UN expert report as one of several companies "central to Israel's surveillance apparatus and the ongoing Gaza destruction."[6] |
Atlas Air | ![]() |
Atlas Air, one of the world's largest cargo airlines, has been directly involved in transporting military equipment from the United States to Israel during the Gaza war. The company was contracted by the U.S. Department of Defense for air charter services, and flight tracking data confirms that Atlas Air operated multiple cargo flights to Israel's Nevatim Air Base, carrying materials that activists and analysts identify as weapons, bombs, and other military supplies used in the bombardment of Gaza.[7][8][9] |
BAE Systems | ![]() |
BAE Systems produces at least 15% of the components of the F-35I used by the IAF.[10]
BAE also produces electronic missile launch systems and various components for Israel's F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jets — aircraft that the Israeli Air Force has used extensively in all of its attacks on Gaza[11] |
Barclays | ![]() |
According to a 2024 report by War on Want, Barclays has significantly increased its financial support to arms companies supplying weapons and military technology to Israel, raising its involvement by 55% since 2021. The bank holds over £2 billion in shares and provides £6.1 billion in loans and underwriting to nine such companies.[12][13] Additionally, the report cited research from December 2023 that found that Barclays is Europe's sixth-largest creditor of firms operating in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.[14][15]
Barclays has denied investing its own money in weapons companies, stating that it only invests its clients' money and has affirmed its continued commitment to the State of Israel.[16][17][18] |
BlackRock | ![]() |
BlackRock is a key institutional investor in Israeli bonds and major defense, tech, and infrastructure firms directly tied to the siege and destruction of Gaza. Specifically, BlackRock is among the largest institutional shareholders in companies such as Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar, Palantir, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet Inc. (Google), and IBM, whose products and systems are used in demolitions, surveillance, and military attacks against Palestinian civilians.[19][20][21] |
Boeing | ![]() |
Boeing expedited delivery of Joint Direct Attack Munition kits to Israel in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks.[22]
Israel has used the Boeing manufactured GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb during the Gaza war, including in bombings of a Rafah refugee tent camp,[23] the Al-Sardi school,[24] the Al-Tabaeen school,[25] and the Fahmi al-Jarjawi School.[26] |
Boston Consulting Group | ![]() |
Boston Consulting Group helped design and run the business operations of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and provided modeling work on the postwar reconstruction of Gaza, including cost estimates for giving hundreds of thousands of Gazans 'relocation packages' worth $9,000 per person in exchange for them leaving the territory.[27][28] |
Caterpillar | ![]() |
For decades, Caterpillar has supplied Israel with D9 armored bulldozers, which the Israeli military has used extensively in operations across the occupied Palestinian territories.
These bulldozers, up-armored and some converted for remote-controlled use, have played a central role in demolishing homes, infrastructure, and cultural sites, actions that human rights organizations say may constitute war crimes. The equipment has also been used to create buffer zones and build roads—such as the Netzarim Corridor—facilitating long-term Israeli military control in Gaza. Despite calls from human rights groups like Human Rights Watch to halt sales, Caterpillar has maintained that it cannot control how its products are used after purchase.[29][30] In June 2025, a UN expert report named Caterpillar as a supplier of equipment being used to destroy property in the Palestinian territories.[6][31] |
Chevron | ![]() |
Chevron has played a significant role in the exploitation of natural gas resources in the Eastern Mediterranean, including the Leviathan and Tamar fields off Israel's coast. The company has financially benefited from Israel's control over maritime resources to which Palestinians have been denied access due to the blockade of Gaza and lack of maritime sovereignty.[6][32][33] |
Day & Zimmermann | ![]() |
Day & Zimmermann manufactures M830A1 rounds for the United States Army. During the Gaza war, 14,000 of these rounds were transferred from the US Army's stockpile to the Israeli military.[34] |
DJI | ![]() |
According to an investigation by Al Jazeera, the Israeli military utilized retrofitted DJI drones, especially its Agras model, in the Gaza War to attack civilian shelters and hospitals, as well as monitoring Palestinian prisoners of war being used as human shields. The Israel Defense Forces used several DJI models such as the Agras, Avata, and Mavic during the war for various purposes, including surveillance and dropping bombs. Unlike its actions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, DJI has yet to halt the sales of DJI drones to Israel.[35] |
Elbit Systems | ![]() |
Elbit Systems, Israel's largest weapons manufacturer, is a major supplier of arms and surveillance technology to the Israeli military. Its drones (Hermes and Skylark), MPR 500 bombs, and advanced targeting systems have been heavily used in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.[36] These systems, designed for urban warfare, were used in attacks like the 2024 airstrike in Habbarieh, Lebanon killing seven civilians,[37] and the World Central Kitchen aid convoy attack in Gaza,[38] both considered as potential war crimes. Elbit also played a key role in developing Israel's "smart" Gaza border wall.[39] On October 13, the Israeli military fired 120mm tank rounds at journalists in southern Lebanon, killing Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah and injuring six others.[40] |
FANUC | ![]() |
The FANUC Corporation provides industrial robots for weapons production lines. They supply the Israel Aerospace Industries, Elbit Systems and Lockheed Martin.[31] |
General Dynamics | ![]() |
General Dynamics manufactures Mark 84 bombs, 14,000 of which have been sent to Israel by the US and used as the primary 2,000-pound bombs.[41] They are the only company that produces the shells for the Mark 80 series of bombs.[42][better source needed]
The 2,000-pound bomb is extremely destructive and cannot be used in populated areas without causing major civilian casualties. Its blast kills instantly within 100 feet[43] and spreads lethal fragments up to 1,200 feet. Israel reportedly dropped over 500 such bombs on Northern Gaza by November 6,[44] including a deadly strike on Jabalia refugee camp.[45] By mid-November, over 208 were dropped in Southern Gaza, even in areas designated as safe zones. Attacks on families in Deir al-Balah have been labeled by Amnesty International and the UN as potential war crimes.[46] General Dynamics CFO, Jason Aiken, said, "I think if you look at the incremental demand potential coming out of that[a], the biggest one to highlight and that really sticks out is probably on the artillery side."[48] |
Glencore | ![]() |
Glencore is a major supplier of coal and other fossil fuels to Israel. According to the UN report, its subsidiaries provided roughly 15% of Israel's imported coal between October 2023 and 2024.[49][50] |
![]() |
In 2021, Google and Amazon secured a $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli government for Project Nimbus, a cloud-computing initiative. Internal Google documents obtained by journalist Sam Biddle revealed that Google provides Israel with advanced AI capabilities, including facial detection, automated image categorization, object tracking, and sentiment analysis of images, speech, and text.[51]
In late 2023, Google granted the Israeli Ministry of Defense expanded access to its AI platform Vertex, and in March 2024, the Israeli military signed a direct consulting deal with Google to further extend its use of Google Cloud services. Throughout 2024, Google fulfilled additional requests from the Israeli military, including access to the Gemini generative AI model and Google Photos' facial recognition tools, reportedly used for mass surveillance of Palestinians in Gaza. These services were provided under special contracts that excluded Google's standard terms of use, granting Israel full discretion over the technology.[52][53] In April 2024, Google fired over 50 employees who protested the company's involvement in Israel's military activities.[54] In February 2025, Alphabet, Google's parent company, lifted its ban on using AI for military purposes.[55] In June 2025, Google/Alphabet was named by a UN expert report as one of several companies "central to Israel's surveillance apparatus and the ongoing Gaza destruction."[6][31] | |

Palantir | ![]() |
Palantir Technologies has played a significant role in supporting Israel's military operations during the Gaza war by providing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and data analysis tools.[29] In January 2024, Palantir expanded its partnership with Israel, supplying new AI-driven technologies specifically to aid the Israeli Defense Ministry in its ongoing campaign in Gaza.[70][30] Palantir's software has been used to enhance Israel's targeting capabilities that allowed Israel to place three drone-fired missiles into three clearly marked aid vehicles[71]
CEO Alex Karp is a strong supporter for Israel, stating, "I am proud that we are supporting Israel in every way we can." Several of Karp's employees chose to resign due to his public support for Israel.[72][30] In June 2025, Palantir was named by a UN expert report as providing "AI tools" to the IDF, though without specifics on their use.[6][31] |
