UK has billions in contracts with firms tied to illegal Israeli settlements

At least 17 companies linked to illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank hold UK public-sector contracts worth over £2.1 billion ($2.85 billion). This Al Jazeera investigation reveals that these companies, named by the United Nations for their involvement in these settlements, have secured contracts across various sectors, including road maintenance and transport. More than 140 UK Labour MPs are calling on the government to ban trade with these settlements, a move Prime Minister Andy Burnham is considering.
