Largest sovereign wealth fund in the world to review investments in Israel

The Norwegian government is reviewing its sovereign wealth fund's investments in Israel following a public outcry. This action was prompted by a newspaper investigation revealing the $1.9 trillion fund has a stake in Bet Shemesh Engines, an Israeli company that provides jet engine parts for fighter jets used in the war on Gaza. Norway's finance minister, Jens Stoltenberg, acknowledged the issue, stating the fund is not supposed to invest in companies that enable states to violate international law. The review will examine the fund's holdings in Israeli companies in light of these ethical concerns.
