Danish Shipping Giant Maersk to Divest from Firms Linked to Israeli Settlements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Danish shipping giant Maersk will divest from companies linked to
Israel's illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank after a sustained
pressure campaign by activists, led by the Palestinian Youth Movement.
The group said, "this sends a clear message: compliance with
international law and basic human rights is not optional. Doing business
with Israel's illegal settlements is no longer viable." The group is
calling for Maersk to next stop transporting F-35 fighter jet parts that
are used by Israel's military in its genocide in Gaza.
