130 Companies, 23 Countries: Investigation Reveals International Infrastructure Behind Israel’s Wars by The Palestine Chronicle

PLEASE TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW AND SEND YOUR LETTER TO THE UN OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL ADVISER ON THE PREVENTION OF GENOCIDE AND THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT PROSECUTOR.

An open-source investigation by Arabi Post identified 130 companies from 23 countries across six continents that continued supplying Israel with weapons, technologies, logistical support and industrial services from October 2023 through May 2026.

The report argued that these supply chains remained active despite repeated international calls and UN measures urging states to halt arms transfers linked to Israel’s military operations.

According to the investigation, the support structure extended beyond direct weapons production and represented what researchers described as a broad multinational industrial ecosystem sustaining Israeli operations in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Iran.

“We kill enemies”: Spy firm Palantir secures top Australian security clearance by Stephanie Tran

Palantir has faced sustained criticism globally over how its software is used by government clients.

In April 2025, CEO Alex Karp dismissed accusations that Palantir’s technology had been used to target and kill Palestinians in Gaza, saying those killed were “mostly terrorists”.

The UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, has said there are “reasonable grounds” to believe Palantir has “provided automatic predictive policing technology, core defence infrastructure for rapid and scaled-up construction and deployment of military software, and its Artificial Intelligence Platform, which allows real-time battlefield data integration for automated decision-making”.

In the United States, Palantir has long worked with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). An investigation by 404 Media revealed that the company was developing a tool that generates detailed dossiers on potential deportation targets, maps their locations and assigns “confidence scores” to their likely whereabouts.

AI for War: Big Tech Empowering Israel’s Crimes and Occupation by Marwa Fatafta

PLEASE TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW AND SEND YOUR LETTER TO THE UN OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL ADVISER ON THE PREVENTION OF GENOCIDE AND THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT PROSECUTOR.

Alarmingly, these AI-driven systems internalize the genocidal logic of their operators. They are trained to treat civilians as “terrorists,” building on the genocidal logic of Israeli officials who declared that “there are no innocent civilians in Gaza.” As part of efforts to automate lethal targeting, military commanders reportedly instructed soldiers to identify and feed as many targets as possible into the system. This effectively lowers the threshold for designating individuals as “Hamas militants,” casting a wide net of algorithmically flagged subjects. Despite its high error rate, the only criterion Israeli soldiers applied to Lavender’s kill list was the target’s gender, effectively rendering all Palestinian males—children and adults alike—legitimate targets. In practice, AI technology has enabled the Israeli regime’s genocidal logic to be executed with ruthless, machine-driven efficiency, reducing Palestinians, their families, and their homes to what the military chillingly refers to as “garbage targets.

These Corporations Are the True “Winners” of the War on Gaza by Spencer Ackerman

  1. Whatever the debates about the decline of US hegemony, the global arms market is a place where American power is growing. The United States was responsible for 34 percent of all arms exports from 2014 to 2018, according to SIPRI, an independent research institute. By 2023, that number had grown to 42 percent. Some 38 percent of US arms exports during that time went to the Middle East, with Israel accounting for 3.6 percent; Israel gets 69 percent of its arms imports from Washington.
  3. That America’s imperial wars have been agonizing failures has obscured the fact that there have been winners—and the same goes for this latest US-backed assault. Those winners are in the boardrooms of the companies shown here, from a tally assembled by the American Friends Service Committee. We highlight them not because of any company’s particular instrumentality in the bloodshed but because they are unexceptional, representing routine operations within Israel’s machinery of oppression. Some are not even primarily known as weapons manufacturers. Their wins compound every day that Israel continues its genocide in Gaza.
