Norwegian investor Storebrand has sold its holdings in Palantir Technologies due to concerns over the company's work for Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories. Storebrand cited potential violations of international humanitarian law and human rights as the reason for the divestment. Palantir, co-founded by Peter Thiel, provides technology to the Israeli military and has previously defended its work. The move by Storebrand follows a recommendation from Norway's government warning businesses about investments that aid Israeli settlements. The International Court of Justice has deemed Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, including settlements, as illegal.
