PALESTINIAN activists targeted Elbit’s investors, insurers and landlords on Nakba Day today.

Filton weapons factory in Bristol, owned by the Israel-based international military technology company and defence contractor Elbit Systems, was also blocked by a repurposed ambulance as part of Palestine Action’s day of protest.

Speaking from the roof of the ambulance, one of the activists said: “Almost 20,000 Palestinian children have been killed, and that’s why we’re here to shut down this factory.”Actions took place against the Glasgow offices of Elbit’s insurers, Allianz, the Manchester-based landlords of Elbit’s Bristol HQ and the Edinburgh offices of Elbit’s investors, BNY Mellon.

HUMAN rights and environmental groups have challenged Rosebank oil field’s links to illegal Israeli settlements at its owner’s AGM.

Amnesty International intervened at the AGM of Equinor — the majority owner of the controversial Rosebank oil field — in Norway on Wednesday over its links to Delek Group, an Israeli fuel conglomerate.

Equinor shares ownership of Rosebank with Ithaca Energy, which is majority-owned by Delek Group.This means Equinor’s Rosebank project could send £253 million to the group, which operates in illegal settlements and provides fuel to the IDF, the campaigners say.

Delek Group has also been flagged by the UN for human rights violations in Palestine.

Greenpeace also tabled a first-of-its-kind shareholder proposal, which calls on Equinor to conduct due diligence over its links to companies operating in Israel’s illegal settlements.

Jeremy Corbyn (right) on at the meeting in Huddersfield

Former Labour Party leader and Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn came closer than ever to declaring a new left electoral coalition or political party on Saturday.

He said a new formation would be set up before the English local elections in May 2026— earlier if possible. He said that everyone on the left outside Labour “will want to be part of and support” it. 

Hasfsa, a health worker in the audience, told Socialist Worker, “I was so pleased with what Jeremy said. It’s what I have been waiting to hear. 

“I am so disappointed with Keir Starmer and horrified by the slaughter of Palestinians. We need a new start that puts justice before personal ambition and listens to the people.”

Corbyn was speaking as around 200 people joined a Conference of Resistance in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

It’s one of several gatherings taking place as people rage against Labour’s betrayals and want to hit back at the rise of Reform UK. 

Corbyn savaged the Labour government for its “complicity” with the genocide in Gaza and for attacking disabled people. 

Speaking before Corbyn, the former Leicester MP Claudia Webbe said, “The time for a new left political party is now”. She rammed home her point, saying, “This is not a plea, it’s a declaration.”
