The UN has expanded its database of companies operating in settlements in Judea and Samaria, adding 61 new companies including Tnuva, Netafim, Aroma Espresso Bar, and Burger Ranch.

The United Nations has significantly expanded its database of companies allegedly engaged in business activities related to Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria, adding 61 new companies to its "black list." Among the new additions are Tnuva, Netafim, Trabur, Africa Israel, Alony Hetz, Energix, and Maman Cargo Terminals. Well-known consumer brands such as Aroma Espresso Bar, Burger Ranch, Cafe Joe, and Carmel Winery were also added. The updated database includes 214 companies from 11 countries, up from 158 last year. Five companies were removed from the list. Israel condemned the database, calling it a "political tool" and a "distorted mechanism" that it says is used for a smear campaign against companies that have committed no offense. The report states that countries must respect their legal obligations under international law and work to ensure respect for human rights in conflict-affected areas.
