This report focuses on the relationships between European financial institutions and
companies supplying armsi to Israel.ii By selling arms to Israel, arms companies run a high
risk of facilitating ongoing severe violations of international humanitarian law. The banks,
pension funds, insurers and other asset managers financing these companies by providing
credits or holding shares or bonds have a clear responsibility to prevent facilitating
violations. Arms companies’ supply of weapons to Israel has been considered high-risk for
years, as these weapons have been used to enforce the occupation and related violations of
international humanitarian law and of human rights law in Gaza and the West Bank,
including East Jerusalem.iii The unprecedented attacks on Gaza since 7 October 2023 and
the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) provisional measures order of 26 January 2024
determining there is a plausible risk of genocide in Gazaiv make it even more urgent for
arms companies to stop their supplies to Israel and for financial institutions to stop
financing companies that continue to supply arms to Israel.
