Glasgow University has a total of £751,568 invested in companies linked to West Bank settlements.
SCOTTISH universities have shares worth more than £2 million in companies linked to settlements in the West Bank which are considered illegal under international law, The Ferret can reveal. Companies backed financially by Scots academic institutions include a bank which finances construction in the West Bank and major global financial institutions underwriting Airbnb, which has around 200 properties for rent in illegal Israeli settlements. Critics have raised concerns over these investments and called for divestment from some of the firms. The universities said in response they are fully committed to socially responsible investments while the banks all have policies to uphold human rights.

Palestinian rights groups have welcomed the International Criminal Court’s ruling that it has jurisdiction over the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories and called on the court’s prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to take swift action.
Friday’s ruling opens the way for the ICC to investigate alleged war crimes committed in the 2014 Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the besieged Gaza Strip by both the Israeli army and Palestinian armed factions.
The 50-day war, which devastated the coastal enclave and left 2,251 dead on the Palestinian side, mostly civilians, and 74 on the Israeli side, mostly soldiers, has already been the subject of a five-year preliminary ICC probe and a string of critical reports.
