Europe: Approval of Israel bonds in the European market risks state’s complicity in Israel’s ongoing genocide

Israel is committing genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity and perpetuating is maintaining its system of apartheid and its unlawful occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Over the past few years, the Israeli government has tried to mobilize the additional financing it needs in different ways. One of these is the issuance and sale of Israel Bonds – a type of debt instrument issued by the state of Israel through the Development Corporation for Israel, aimed at individuals and small investors. This financial facilitation risks amounting to a failure to prevent genocide and carries the risk of aiding and assisting in genocide. Amnesty International is calling on EU member states to refrain from accepting the transfer or approving a new prospectus for Israel Bonds.
