Maersk Shareholders To Vote On Banning Israel Arms Transfers Over Gaza Genocide – The Cradle

 Maersk Shareholders To Vote On Banning Israel Arms Transfers Over Gaza Genocide

The vote comes as Israel resumes its brutal war on the strip, killing at least 420 people in less than 24 hours

Shareholders in Danish shipping giant Maersk are set to hold a vote on 18 March for a proposal to cease weapons shipments to Israel for as long as it is waging war on Gaza.

The vote comes as Israel has renewed its genocidal campaign against the strip, killing over 420 Palestinians since early Tuesday morning.

Weapons transfers to Israel are “in violation of international conventions, assuming that military equipment, weapons, and components were used in Israeli army operations where international conventions are breached,” shareholder Zen Donen told AFP.

Yet the shipping firm’s board does not support the proposal.

“The premise of the proposal is not correct, as the company is not transporting arms to Israel,” the company said, despite recent investigative reports in Danish media claiming otherwise. The reports show that Maersk has shipped armored combat vehicles and other military hardware to Israel.
