Shipping giant MSC facilitates trade from illegal Israeli settlements through EU

The world’s largest shipping line has been enabling the transport of goods to and from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, as the US and Europe continue to promote trade despite clear responsibilities under international law, a joint investigation by Al Jazeera and the Palestinian Youth Movement reveals. The Switzerland-based Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has regularly shipped cargo from companies based in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, according to commercial documents obtained through US import databases.
