- An Al Jazeera investigation found that 17 companies linked to Israeli settlements hold £2.1 billion in UK public-sector contracts.
- The contracts exist despite the British government saying it will take a tougher position on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Seventeen companies linked to Israeli settlements hold UK public-sector contracts worth £2.1 billion, according to an Al Jazeera investigation.
The findings come as the British government says it will adopt a tougher position on illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The investigation highlights the contrast between that stated policy and the value of public contracts held by settlement-linked firms.
