This is our moment to turn up the pressure on CAF. On June 13, CAF, a Basque transport company registered in Spain, will hold its shareholders’ meeting. CAF is deeply complicit in Israel’s illegal occupation and apartheid against Palestinians: it maintains and expands Israel’s illegal Jerusalem Light Rail in the occupied Palestinian territory.
This project connects illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank to West Jerusalem. Israeli colonial settlements are built on stolen Palestinian land and are sustained through the ethnic cleansing and forcible displacement of Palestinians. They constitute war crimes under international law. CAF is therefore included in the United Nations database of companies implicated in activities in Israel’s illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.
