The Palestinian Mission to the UK has hailed the 80 million British pounds divestment by the country’s biggest private pension fund from Israeli assets. Al Jazeera reports.
“We welcome this principled policy as it moves us a step closer to peace and justice in the region,” it said in a statement, referring to the move by the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), and urged others to also “adopt an ethical investment policy in line with domestic and international law” and follow the fund’s “principled and effective” decision.
