Imagine a land where ancient olive trees are uprooted to make room for modern settlements and historical names are erased for new identities. This has been the reality for Palestinians as the establishment and expansion of the State of Israel has involved not only the physical replacement of communities but also a transformation of the landscape itself. This process has involved altering names, planting non-native flora, and constructing vast barriers that scar the land. Behind these actions lies a complex web of financial and political interests that facilitate and profit from these changes.

The Financial Engine Behind the Landscape Changes
The transformation of the Palestinian landscape by Israel is not just a matter of ideological pursuit; it is also a highly profitable venture. The financial backing necessary to carry out such extensive changes stems from various global entities. These entities, influential and powerful, capitalize on loopholes in international law to engage in activities that have raised significant ethical and legal questions.
A Report Unveiling Global Complicity
Recently, a comprehensive report by UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese shed light on this issue in stark terms. The report identifies over 45 entities across the globe, part of a larger database of 1,000 corporations, implicated in supporting what many see as human rights violations in Palestine. The involvement of these corporations in the Israeli expansions highlights a disturbing overlap of global business interests and geopolitical strategies.
The Impact of International Business in Conflict Zones
The actions of these corporations underscore a broader trend of multinational entities influencing and profiting from conflicts and territorial expansions. Their operations, extending beyond the reach of many nation-states, exploit gaps in international governance and ethical standards, often at the cost of local communities and ecosystems.
Through examining these dynamics, it becomes clear that the situation in Israel and Palestine is not only a regional issue but also a global one, involving a network of corporate and state actors whose interests are served by the ongoing transformation of the region. This scenario prompts a need for greater scrutiny and accountability at international levels to address and mitigate the human and environmental costs of such profound changes.
