Israel rejects U.N. report on companies linked to settlements
Israel fears that companies listed on the U.N. “blacklist” could be
targeted for boycotts or divestment over its settlements in the West
Bank, which most countries and the world body view as illegal.
Violations associated with the settlements are “pervasive and
devastating, reaching every facet of Palestinian life.”
