The Belgian Palestinian Friendship Association, in coordination with the Palestinian community in Belgium and other Belgian organizations supporting Palestine, demonstrated in front of the headquarters of the insurance company “AXA” in the capital, Brussels.
This came in protest against the involvement of AXA in investing in Israeli occupation settlements built on Palestinian land, and to force it to respect its climate and human rights obligations.
“Despite repeated calls from civil society organizations, AXA continues to refuse to divest from settlements, making them complicit in the war crimes and destruction carried out by Israel’s apartheid regime,” the organizers said.
They added, “As long as AXA is proud of being one of the leading financial institutions in the fight against climate change, it must stop securing the destruction of the environment in Palestine.”
It should be noted that the Belgian bank and insurance company AXA ranks 30th among the 100 largest European investors involved in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, with a total investment of $845 million.
