G4S, one of the world’s biggest security and imprisonment firms, has announced it plans to end all its business with Israel within the next 12 to 24 months.

In its full year report G4S included the sales of its Israeli business as well as US “youth justice services” and UK “children’s services.” to increase profits and improve the company’s “strategic focus.”

This latest announcement makes G4S the latest multinational company – following transport and municipal services firm Veolia, telecom giant Orange and construction materials conglomerate CRH – to leave Israel in the wake of sustained campaigns by the BDS movement.
