Norway Reviews Wealth Fund’s Israeli Investments
Norway's government has initiated a comprehensive review of its $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund’s investments in Israeli companies, following public outcry over significant holdings in Bet Shemesh Engines, which services military aircraft used in the Gaza conflict. The review was ordered due to concerns that such investments may breach the fund’s strict ethical guidelines against supporting companies implicated in human rights abuses or violations of international law. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg have tasked the central bank and the fund’s ethics council with conducting the review. The process will focus on ensuring companies linked to the occupation of the West Bank or the conflict in Gaza are excluded in accordance with the fund's policies. This development has sparked a political debate in Norway regarding the country’s commitment to ethical investing. The wealth fund has previously divested from some Israeli companies and may consider further actions based on the review’s findings.
