BDS Win: Activists Force Shipping Giant Maersk to Cut Israeli Settlement Ties

Lea Kayali, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), discusses a huge win for their “Mask Off Maersk” campaign: shipping giant Maersk announced they are cutting ties to companies with links to illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.

After months of pressure from activists, including in-depth reports exposing Maersk’s transport of F-35 fighter jets used to genocide Palestinians, Kayali discusses why the campaign will continue to push Maersk to drop all its business with Israel.

Shipping giant Maersk is “feeling the heat,” says Lea Kayali @palyouthmvmt.

The #MaskoffMaersk campaign forced them to stop all transport to Israeli settlements, and activists say the company’s ties to the Israeli military are next.
