Ya'acobi Brothers Group

Additional Details

Yacobi Brothers Group (YSB) Ltd. is a prominent Israeli conglomerate operating in the fields of infrastructure development, construction, environmental services, and intelligent transportation systems. The company maintains longstanding commercial relationships with Israeli governmental bodies, including the Ministry of Defense and various security agencies. The group’s activities have drawn scrutiny from human rights organizations due to their involvement in infrastructure projects and services that support Israel’s settlement enterprise in the occupied Palestinian territory, as well as their cooperation with Israeli military and detention authorities. YSB and its subsidiaries have been involved in projects that contribute to the development, maintenance, and sustainability of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Through affiliated companies, including GreenNet, YSB owns and operates a major waste treatment and recycling facility located in the Atarot Industrial Zone in occupied East Jerusalem. The facility processes substantial volumes of municipal waste generated in and around Jerusalem. Human rights organizations and legal experts have raised concerns regarding the use of occupied territory for the treatment and disposal of waste originating from Israel, arguing that such practices may constitute the exploitation of occupied land and resources in contravention of international humanitarian law. YSB has also participated in maintenance and infrastructure services associated with sections of Route 60, including the Tunnel Road corridor connecting the Israeli settlement of Gilo with the Gush Etzion settlement bloc in the occupied West Bank. This transportation network serves as a critical component of the regional infrastructure, facilitating connectivity between settlements and Israel while contributing to the integration and expansion of the settlement presence in the occupied territory. -- Listed on TASE (YSBG)
