The company&apos;s documented involvement with Israel and occupied Palestinian territories centers on economic relationships rather than direct military or defense ties. The V-MIL and V-DIG domains both score 0.00, reflecting the absence of public evidence connecting Nike to Israeli defense contractors, weapons systems, or direct security technology relationships.</description><pubDate>Sun, 12 Jul 2026 15:30:43 GMT</pubDate><category>Retail</category></item><item><title>McDonald&apos;s — BDS-1000 score 553 (High)</title><link>https://openintel.uk/mcdonald-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://openintel.uk/mcdonald-s/</guid><description>McDonald&apos;s presence in the Israel/Palestine nexus is that of a civilian, franchise-model fast-food operator whose documented entanglement runs almost entirely through its Israeli licensee&apos;s commercial and reputational conduct rather than through any defense, surveillance, or infrastructure relationship. For thirty years McDonald&apos;s Israel was operated by Alonyal Ltd. under founder Omri Padan — himself the founder of the Israeli anti-settlement organization Peace Now — under an explicit, repeatedly reaffirmed corporate policy of not opening restaurants in West Bank or Golan Heights settlements, a stance that predates the current conflict by decades and has drawn hostility from settler political figures rather than from boycott campaigners.</description><pubDate>Sun, 12 Jul 2026 12:35:39 GMT</pubDate><category>Food &amp; Beverage</category></item><item><title>Lockheed Martin — BDS-1000 score 821 (Extreme)</title><link>https://openintel.uk/lockheed-martin/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://openintel.uk/lockheed-martin/</guid><description>Lockheed Martin&apos;s nexus to Israel is dominated by its role as the U.S. defense-industrial base&apos;s principal supplier of combat aircraft to the Israeli Air Force. Through government-to-government Foreign Military Sales arrangements, the company has delivered the F-16 fleet, the F-35I &quot;Adir&quot; (a bespoke Israeli variant layering domestic electronic-warfare and command-and-control systems onto Lockheed&apos;s baseline avionics), Hellfire missiles, C-130J transports, and — via its Sikorsky subsidiary — UH-60/S-70 Black Hawk and CH-53K helicopters. These platforms have documented operational use in Gaza, including MLRS deployment from 6 October 2023 (its first use since the 2006 Lebanon war), a December 2023 C-130J airdrop to ground troops near Khan Younis, and a reported November 2023 Hellfire strike near al-Shifa Hospital whose specific attribution to Lockheed&apos;s R9X variant rests on a single, uncorroborated Press TV report. Approximately 2,000 Hellfire missiles were reportedly transferred to Israel in the five weeks following 7 October 2023, according to a leaked U.S. document reported by journalist Ken Klippenstein.</description><pubDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2026 15:05:10 GMT</pubDate><category>Manufacturing &amp; Defense</category></item><item><title>Lidl — BDS-1000 score 468 (High)</title><link>https://openintel.uk/lidl/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://openintel.uk/lidl/</guid><description>Lidl is a German discount-grocery chain and the flagship retail brand of the privately held Schwarz Group, which also owns Kaufland, the waste-management firm PreZero, and the technology division Schwarz Digits.

The company&apos;s documented Israel/Palestine nexus is instead concentrated in two areas: agricultural supply-chain sourcing and its political-legal aftermath, and a single large corporate-investment relationship at the parent-group level.</description><pubDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2026 14:39:27 GMT</pubDate><category>Retail</category></item><item><title>JPMorgan Chase — BDS-1000 score 541 (High)</title><link>https://openintel.uk/jpmorgan-chase/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://openintel.uk/jpmorgan-chase/</guid><description>JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. is a U.S.-domiciled global bank whose documented Israel/Palestine nexus is overwhelmingly financial and advisory rather than industrial. The bank does not manufacture weapons, dual-use hardware, or surveillance technology, and no audit identified evidence that it operates in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, staffs checkpoints or detention facilities, or holds construction or demolition contracts tied to the occupation. Its clearest and most sustained institutional tie to the Israeli state is capital-markets in nature: JPMorgan has served as a primary dealer for Israeli government bonds since December 2019, and it was one of seven international banks — alongside Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, Citi, and Barclays — that underwrote $19.4 billion in Israeli sovereign bond issuances between 7 October 2023 and January 2025, financing researchers have characterized as &quot;war bonds.&quot; That underwriting relationship persisted into the current period, with JPMorgan named as a joint book-running manager on Israel&apos;s $5 billion sovereign offering that closed in February 2025 and as one of six underwriters of a $2 billion Bank Hapoalim overseas bond sale priced in January 2026.</description><pubDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2026 14:08:18 GMT</pubDate><category>Finance &amp; Insurance</category></item><item><title>Jaeger-LeCoultre — BDS-1000 score 51 (Limited)</title><link>https://openintel.uk/jaeger-lecoultre/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://openintel.uk/jaeger-lecoultre/</guid><description>Jaeger-LeCoultre is a Swiss haute-horlogerie manufacturer headquartered in Le Sentier, wholly owned since 2000 by the Richemont luxury-goods group .

The company&apos;s wholly owned subsidiary, IBM Israel Ltd., has supplied computing, storage, and software infrastructure to the Israeli Ministry of Defense since the 1960s, and to Israel Police since 1975. The most consequential and best-documented military-sector relationship is a 25-year, roughly $1 billion IT services contract awarded jointly to IBM and Malam Team in January 2020 to serve as the primary IT provider for three new IDF regional logistics centres handling combat equipment — a relationship that runs through the audit period and well beyond.</description><pubDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2026 11:17:13 GMT</pubDate><category>Technology</category></item><item><title>Hyundai — BDS-1000 score 477 (High)</title><link>https://openintel.uk/hyundai/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://openintel.uk/hyundai/</guid><description>&quot;Hyundai&quot; is not a single company but two entirely separate South Korean conglomerates sharing a historical brand origin: Hyundai Motor Group, the automaker, and HD Hyundai (formerly Hyundai Heavy Industries), the heavy-industries and construction-equipment group. This distinction is central to the documented Israel/Palestine nexus, because the overwhelming majority of the evidentiary record — the demolition, settlement-construction and civil-society-scrutiny findings — attaches to HD Hyundai&apos;s construction and demolition equipment, while Hyundai Motor Group&apos;s exposure is concentrated in commercial vehicle sales, technology investment, and one defense-industrial teaming agreement via its Hyundai Rotem affiliate.</description><pubDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2026 11:16:41 GMT</pubDate><category>Automotive</category></item><item><title>Barclays — BDS-1000 score 415 (High)</title><link>https://openintel.uk/barclays/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://openintel.uk/barclays/</guid><description>Barclays is a UK-headquartered universal bank whose documented Israel/Palestine nexus is almost entirely financial rather than operational, technological, or physical. The bank holds a Bank of Israel foreign-branch licence obtained in 2011, operates a Tel Aviv corporate and investment-banking office, and has for years participated as one of a small international syndicate — alongside Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citi, Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan Chase and, until March 2024, BNP Paribas — underwriting Israeli sovereign bonds, including two issuances after 7 October 2023. Independent research published in 2025–2026 found that Barclays has not been recorded as underwriting an Israeli government bond internationally since January 2024, even as its own public FAQ continued to describe it as part of the underwriting syndicate — a discrepancy Barclays declined to explain, with reporting suggesting continued participation only through Israel&apos;s domestic bond auctions.</description><pubDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2026 11:06:35 GMT</pubDate><category>Finance &amp; Insurance</category></item><item><title>Huawei — BDS-1000 score 460 (High)</title><link>https://openintel.uk/huawei/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://openintel.uk/huawei/</guid><description>Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. is a Chinese telecommunications and enterprise technology giant that maintained significant operational presence in Israel through its R&amp;D subsidiary Toga Networks and the acquisition of HexaTier.

Across all four domain audits underlying this dossier — military, digital, economic, and political — no evidence was identified of Costa Coffee itself maintaining stores, franchise agreements, offices, or any other direct corporate presence in Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The company&apos;s documented Israel/Palestine nexus is therefore not a direct one; it is inherited, at one remove, through its parent Coca-Cola Company&apos;s relationship with the Central Bottling Company (CBC), the independent, privately held Wertheim-family-owned licensee that bottles and distributes Coca-Cola-trademarked beverages inside Israel.</description><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2026 19:37:52 GMT</pubDate><category>Food &amp; Beverage</category></item><item><title>Cisco — BDS-1000 score 800 (Extreme)</title><link>https://openintel.uk/cisco/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://openintel.uk/cisco/</guid><description>Cisco Systems is a US-founded, San Jose-headquartered networking and enterprise-technology company whose relationship to Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories is not one of Israeli origin or ownership, but of a sustained, multi-decade commercial and governmental partnership layered on top of one of the most acquisitive foreign investment records in Israel&apos;s technology sector. Since the late 1990s Cisco has acquired at least 17–20 Israeli companies for a cumulative total of approximately $7.2 billion — a figure cited by Cisco Israel&apos;s own Managing Director — placing it second only to Intel among multinational acquirers in Israel.

Caterpillar does not sell directly to the Israeli Ministry of Defense or the IDF; the identified mechanism is a US government Foreign Military Sale/Financing process, administered by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, layered on top of an ordinary exclusive-distributor relationship with Israel Tractors &amp; Equipment (I.T.E.), a subsidiary of Zoko Enterprises that has held the Caterpillar franchise in Israel since 1948. Militarization of the base equipment — armor plating, gunner positions, bulletproof cabins, and remote-control automation into variants such as &quot;Panda&quot; — is performed after sale by Israel Aerospace Industries&apos; Ramta division and by Zoko itself, not by Caterpillar.</description><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2026 19:20:25 GMT</pubDate><category>Manufacturing &amp; Defense</category></item><item><title>BYD — BDS-1000 score 311 (Moderate)</title><link>https://openintel.uk/byd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://openintel.uk/byd/</guid><description>BYD Company Ltd. is a Shenzhen-headquartered manufacturer of new energy vehicles, electric buses, and battery systems.

The company&apos;s sole substantive nexus is a franchised Israeli operation of roughly 21–23 branches that ran from 1992 to 2004, generating standard franchisor royalties before closing when the local master franchisee died; two subsequent attempts to relaunch the brand in Israel, in 2009 and 2014, did not produce a lasting presence, and one of the abortive attempts ended in confidential arbitration between Subway and the would-be relaunch investor. As of this audit, Subway operates no franchises in Israel, earns no royalty income from the country, and no Subway location — current or historical — has been identified inside a West Bank, East Jerusalem, or Golan Heights settlement.</description><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2026 12:27:19 GMT</pubDate><category>Food &amp; Beverage</category></item><item><title>Subaru — BDS-1000 score 73 (Limited)</title><link>https://openintel.uk/subaru/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://openintel.uk/subaru/</guid><description>Subaru Corporation&apos;s documented Israel/Palestine nexus is overwhelmingly historical and commercial rather than military, digital, or overtly political.

Because Fuji Heavy had little Arab-market revenue to lose, the decision is documented across sources as commercially rather than politically motivated, but its effect was to make Subaru the dominant passenger-car brand in Israel for roughly fifteen years, with peak sales exceeding 20,000 units in 1987 and lasting cultural prominence (the brand name became a Hebrew colloquialism for &quot;car&quot;).</description><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2026 12:27:12 GMT</pubDate><category>Automotive</category></item><item><title>Sky — BDS-1000 score 309 (Moderate)</title><link>https://openintel.uk/sky/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://openintel.uk/sky/</guid><description>Sky&apos;s documented Israel/Palestine nexus is narrow, indirect, and concentrated almost entirely in two areas: parent-company Comcast&apos;s commercial technology investments in Israeli firms, and Sky News&apos; own editorial coverage of the Gaza war.
