UK universities hold almost $610 million worth of investments linked to Israel, according to research by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. The organization submitted freedom of information requests and found financial ties to major Israel-linked companies. Student-led campaigns to divest university investments from Israel have gained momentum and won victories in Britain. The PSC has been pressuring universities to abandon financial ties to Israel as part of the larger Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. Several universities have made concessions to student protesters amid mounting pressure from the BDS movement.
