🔻Former Chief of Staff Dan Halutz:

Soldiers are falling in vain in the war on Gaza and the north, because there is no goal in this operation - even if we destroy Gaza completely, we will not get the image of victory - the only image that will be engraved in our history is the loss on October 7 - and we must work to release the 132 prisoners, no matter what the heavy price, as Hamas demands of us

Middle East Eye:

The MEE revealed in February that Trinity had £61,735 ($78,089) invested in Israel's largest arms company, Elbit Systems, which produces 85 percent of the drones and land-based equipment used by the Israeli army.

MEE also reported that the college has millions of dollars invested in other companies arming, supporting and profiting from Israel's war on Gaza.

In response to this report, on 28 February the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (CJP), a UK-based rights group, issued a legal notice to Trinity College warning that its investments could make it potentially complicit in Israeli war crimes.

The ICJP indicated in its legal notice that "officers, directors and shareholders at the college may be individually criminally liable if they maintain their investments in arms companies that are potentially complicit in Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity".

MEE has learnt from three well-informed sources close to Trinity's student union that the college council, responsible for major financial and other decisions, voted to remove Trinity's investments from arms companies in early March.

According to these sources, the college decided not to announce that it would divest from arms companies after an activist defaced a 1914 portrait of Lord Arthur Balfour, who authored the infamous Balfour Declaration, inside the college by an activist on 8 March.


MEE revealed in February that the college also has investments worth approximately $3.2m in Caterpillar, a US-based heavy equipment company that has long been the target of boycott campaigns for its sale of bulldozers to the Israeli army, and multiple other companies involved in Israel's war - including General Electric, Toyota Corporation, Rolls-Royce, Barclays Bank and L3Harris Industries.

Trinity has not committed to divesting from all these companies.
