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

HeadlineJun 24, 2025

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.
