Norway Fund Blacklists Israeli Firms With Settlement Ties

Norway’s huge sovereign wealth fund, the world’s largest, blacklisted two Israeli companies involved in construction of settlements in Jerusalem, the country’s finance ministry said Thursday.

The ban on investing in the firms revived a three-year prohibition on them that the Government Pension Fund of Norway had dropped in August last year.

The companies are Africa “Israel” Investments, an Israeli real estate developer, and its construction subsidiary Danya Cerbus.
