Direct Defence Contracting & Procurement
Comcast Corporation is the SEC registrant, and its audited corporate perimeter comprises Comcast Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. 1 Comcast Business announced a $102 million, ten-year Ethernet-services contract with the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency for DISA Region 3 in 2021. 2 This U.S. government telecommunications-services contract does not evidence a contract with an Israeli military or security body. 2
No public evidence identified of a Comcast contract, tender, framework agreement, or memorandum with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, Israel Defense Forces, Israel Prison Service, Border Police, or another Israeli security body. 3, 4 The reviewed research did not locate a Comcast-specific IMOD or SIBAT procurement record. 3, 4
Dual-Use Products & Tactical Variants
Comcast reports operating divisions in Connectivity & Platforms and Content & Experiences, with public-facing group brands including Xfinity, NBCUniversal, and Sky. 1, 5 The available evidence identifies Comcast’s documented defence-linked activity as provision of Ethernet services to U.S. DISA, rather than the manufacture or supply of tactical hardware, military communications equipment, or weapons-related software. 2
No public evidence identified that Comcast supplies Israeli defence primes or Israeli state defence end-users with dual-use components, equipment, software, or systems. 3, 4 The bounded research did not establish an Israeli military end-use, Israeli defence integration, or Israeli export destination for Comcast connectivity products or services. 3, 4
Heavy Machinery, Construction & Infrastructure
Comcast’s reported business divisions concern connectivity platforms and content and experiences, rather than heavy machinery manufacturing or construction contracting. 1 no public evidence identified of Comcast construction, infrastructure-build, equipment, or telecommunications activity in West Bank settlements, East Jerusalem, or the Golan Heights. 3, 4
The 2023 OHCHR update reviewed for this audit does not name Comcast, and AFSC’s reproduction of the relevant UN settlement-business list likewise contains no Comcast entry. 3, 4 These document-specific checks do not establish database-wide absence or rule out activity not captured in the reviewed materials. 3, 4
Supply Chain Integration with Defence Primes
No public evidence identified that Comcast supplies Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, Rafael, IMI, Elbit Land, or Israeli state defence end-users with components, software, equipment, or strategic-platform subsystems. 3, 4 The reviewed materials also did not establish a Comcast role as a subcontractor, distributor, integrator, or service provider within an Israeli defence-prime supply chain. 3, 4
Search results concerning Israeli military communications systems and reservist support that referred to Cisco Systems must not be attributed to Comcast. 6 AFSC’s Cisco company record is therefore relevant as a false-positive control rather than evidence concerning Comcast. 6
Logistical Sustainment & Base Services
Comcast Business’s disclosed DISA agreement concerns Ethernet services for a U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency region over a ten-year term. 2 The cited release does not identify Israel, the IDF, Israeli bases, or Israeli military logistics as a customer, end user, or operating location. 2
No public evidence identified of Comcast providing base services, logistical sustainment, facilities management, telecommunications support, or equipment support to Israeli military, police, prison, or border-security facilities. 3, 4 No Comcast-specific Israeli subsidiary, distributor, franchisee, or licensee was identified in the supplied research for further settlement-reseller assessment. 1, 7
Munitions, Weapons Systems & Strategic Platforms
No public evidence identified.
The reviewed evidence does not establish Comcast involvement in munitions, weapons systems, strategic platforms, military aircraft, naval systems, armoured vehicles, surveillance weapons, or weapons-related subsystems for Israeli end users. 3, 4 Comcast’s disclosed U.S. DISA Ethernet-services agreement is not evidence of munitions or weapons-platform supply. 2
Export Licensing, Regulatory & Legal History
No public evidence identified in the reviewed sources of an export-control decision, sanctions or embargo enforcement action, court proceeding, OECD National Contact Point complaint, parliamentary inquiry, or organised divestment campaign concerning a Comcast defence-supply relationship with Israel. 3, 4 This conclusion is limited to the specified source corpus and does not determine whether unreviewed regulatory or court records exist. 3, 4
Comcast’s 2025 Form 10-K and its Exhibit 21 subsidiary schedule are the primary corporate records identified for future entity-level jurisdiction, contract, and registration checks. 1, 7 The supplied research did not verify an Israeli-domiciled Comcast subsidiary, branch, office, distributor, or occupied-territory location. 1, 7
Civil Society Scrutiny & Documented Investigations
Comcast was not named in the supplied full-text review of the 2023 OHCHR settlement-business database update. 3 AFSC’s contemporaneous presentation of the UN list also does not provide a Comcast entry. 4 These findings are limited to the reviewed records and should not be interpreted as proof that no civil-society scrutiny exists outside that corpus. 3, 4
The audit did not establish a Comcast-specific Israel-related defence investigation, settlement-business designation, or documented NGO accountability campaign from the reviewed sources. 3, 4 Comcast’s planned 2025 SpinCo separation was described as a prospective transaction involving specified NBCUniversal cable-network and digital assets, so later activity by that proposed perimeter should not automatically be attributed to Comcast without confirming completion and retained ownership. 8
