On June 11, roughly 200 protesters, organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement and Jewish Voice for Peace, occupied Maersk's Manhattan office. They demanded an end to the company's military shipments to Israel amidst accusations of genocide in Gaza. Protesters wore T-shirts with phrases like "Hands Off Gaza" while emphasizing Maersk's role in supplying parts for Israeli F-35 jets, which have been used in bombing campaigns against Gaza civilians. The protest highlighted the company's complicity and profit motivations in the ongoing crisis.
A report by the Palestinian Youth Movement found that Maersk plays a critical role in supplying F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel, facilitating genocide.
Naye Idriss stated, "What the report has shown is that, without Maersk, the F-35 as a weapon would not be possible, showing their profit-driven complicity."
