Alon Blue Square Israel Ltd

Additional Details

Alon Blue Square Israel Ltd. is a private Israeli holding company. Through its subsidiaries (such as the real estate company BSRE and the fuel company Dor Alon), the group contributes to the construction and development of infrastructure, the provision of services and goods, and the leasing of properties within settlements in the occupied territories. This constitutes a violation of international law and a direct contribution to the entrenchment of the settlement enterprise and the perpetuation of oppression. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has officially included Alon Blue Square on its "blacklist" (comprising 112 companies) that facilitate and profit from activities within Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. Economist Eidan Landau points to the company's involvement in settlement construction, taking advantage of the security situation: "The Israeli private and commercial sector frequently invests in infrastructure and factories in the Palestinian territories, reaping substantial profits. These investments include construction companies, factories, network branches, and service providers—numbering in the hundreds, if not thousands, of companies and institutions. Major players in the economy, such as Dor Alon and telecommunications companies, operate in the Palestinian market under preferential conditions, without genuine competition, and with exclusive access to the authorities; for them, the Palestinian market is a guaranteed market." -- Listed on TASE (BSI)
