Norway's sovereign wealth fund has recorded significant returns from investments in companies with ties to Israel's military operations, Al Jazeera English reported. The fund, commonly known as the oil fund, maintains holdings in firms linked to Israel's defense sector even as the conflict in Gaza continues.
The fund's financial gains from these Israeli holdings stand in contrast to Norway's stated international positions on humanitarian concerns. The Norwegian government has faced scrutiny over the apparent contradiction between its public stances and the investment activities of its largest sovereign fund.
