...NEW YORK, USA - JULY 23, 2025: Protesters blocked the entrance to Wells Fargo’s office in New York on Wednesday, July 23, denouncing the bank’s ties to Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems and fossil fuel projects. Holding a banner reading “Boiler Room Funds Genocide,” activists accused the bank of aiding the war in Gaza and harming marginalized communities through its support for projects like the Mountain Valley Pipeline. Since March 2, Israel has stalled on implementing a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal with Hamas and has kept Gaza’s border crossings shut, leaving humanitarian aid trucks stranded along the frontier. On Wednesday, the Gaza Health Ministry said that ten more Palestinians died of starvation and malnutrition in the strip in the last 24 hours, pushing the death toll since October 2023 to 111. Israel has killed more than 59,200 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in the Gaza Strip since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, collapsed the health system, and led to severe food shortages. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
