We speak with the secretary general of Amnesty International about the human rights group's new report on the "global political economy enabling Israel's genocide, occupation and apartheid" against Palestinians. Agnès Callamard says Israel's "24 months of genocide" since October 2023 would not be possible without international support and the continued supplying of Israel's war machine by major arms makers, technology firms and other companies. The report names the U.S. military contractors Boeing and Lockheed Martin, the Israeli arms companies Elbit Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries, the South Korean conglomerate Hyundai and the U.S. tech company Palantir Technologies, among others.
While Israel faces growing international condemnation over its actions in Gaza, Callamard says other states must push for an immediate ceasefire and impose consequences, including an arms embargo on Israel. "You can denounce as much as you want. If you do not take actions, including economic actions, then your words are empty," says Callamard.
