Palantir is a US company developing AI software that supports large-scale data analytics and decision-making processes for military and other government agencies. Shortly after Israel’s genocide in Gaza commenced, Palantir entered into a partnership with Israel’s Ministry of Defense to assist with the ‘war effort’. The IDF subsequently used Palantir tools during multiple raids in Gaza.
Palantir was also involved in the September 2024 attacks in Lebanon using exploding electronic pagers and radio devices, which killed dozens and wounded thousands of people including at least a dozen civilians. The attacks were condemned by United Nations experts as a “terrifying violation of international law” because of the ‘booby trap’ nature of the explosive devices.
Palantir has openly expressed public support for Israel during the genocide, more than any other non-Israeli company. In October 2023, it took out a full-page ad in the New York Times reading “Palantir stands with Israel”.

Elbit Systems is an Israeli weapons company that manufactures munitions, combat vehicles, drones, electronic warfare systems, cybersecurity technology and other surveillance systems. Elbit is Israel’s primary weapons supplier and largest private weapons manufacturer.
Elbit weapons have repeatedly been used against Palestinian civilians, resulting in numerous casualties and the mass destruction of homes and civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and water and electric systems. Many recorded incidents linked to Elbit weapons or materials are considered war crimes:
- In 2015, an Elbit bomb was used to strike a home in Khan Younis, killing nine people, including six children.
- In April 2024, an Elbit drone attacked three World Central Kitchen vehicles in central Gaza, killing seven aid workers including one Australian, Zomi Frankcom
- In a 2006 Lebanon bombardment, an Elbit drone killed over 1,100 people, about a third of them children.
- Elbit tanks have also been used in Gaza operations, including firing at the border in
2020, at protesters during the 2018 Great March of Return, and in earlier assaults in 2012 and 2014. They have also supported demolitions of homes and farmland.
The construction of Elbit’s corporate factories on occupied Palestinian land has contributed to significant forced displacement, including in Ramat Beka in Naqan/Negev, displacing 36,000 Palestinians with the demolition of over 2000 buildings including 1200 Palestinian homes.
Elbit is also the primary supplier of surveillance systems used on the apartheid wall, considered illegal under international law, to monitor and surveil Palestinians.
Lockheed Martin is a US weapons company. As of 2022, it is the largest military contractor in the world.
Lockheed Martin provides the Israeli Air Force with F-16 and F-35 war planes, missiles, sensor and radar warfare technology, and rocket systems. For years, these weapons have repeatedly been used against Palestinian civilians, resulting in numerous casualties as well as mass destruction of homes and civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and water and electric systems.
- Throughout the Gaza genocide, F-35s have been repeatedly used by Israeli Forces in airstrikes in Gaza, including in designated safe zones killing tens of thousands of
civilians. - Lockheed Martin fighter jets and missiles have been used in airstrikes against
Palestinian civillians in 2008/9, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2021. - In 2024, Lockheed Martin missiles were used in the attack killing World Kitchen aid
workers, including Australian Zomi Frankcom.
Lockheed Martin was directly named in United Nations From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide Report in July 2025. It was also named in a statement from UN in June 2024 directly calling out the companies complicity in genocide, amidst calls for an end of the transfer of weapons to Israel.
Mizrahi Tefahot, Israel Discount Bank, Bank Hapoalim and Bank Leumi have all been involved in financing and facilitating the expansion of Israel’s illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory. Their activities include providing loans for settlement construction, mortgages for Israeli homebuyers, and financial services to settlement councils.
Bank Hapoalim and Bank Leumi have also financed settlement-serving infrastructure, including the Jerusalem Light Rail, while Bank Leumi has financed commercial developments such as a business park and shopping mall in settlements.
All four banks were included in the United Nations’ 2020 database of businesses involved in activities supporting and enabling Israel’s illegal settlements.
