Amnesty International has released a new report detailing the “global political economy” that enables Israel’s genocide, occupation, and apartheid against Palestinians. Secretary General Agnès Callamard stated that Israel’s “24 months of genocide” since October 2023 would not be possible without international complicity and the steady flow of weapons and technology sustaining Israel’s military operations. The report highlights U.S. defense giants Boeing and Lockheed Martin, Israeli arms makers Elbit Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Israel Aerospace Industries, as well as South Korea’s Hyundai and U.S. technology firm Palantir Technologies, among others, as key profiteers. Callamard warned that while condemnation of Israel is growing worldwide, denunciations alone are meaningless without concrete action. Amnesty is urging states to impose an immediate ceasefire, halt arms transfers, and enact economic measures, including a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel, to end impunity for mass atrocities in Gaza
