An Al Jazeera investigation revealed that Facebook has hosted over 100 paid advertisements for illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, including calls for the demolition of Palestinian structures and fundraising for Israeli military operations in Gaza. Despite Meta's assertion of a robust ad review system, legal experts suggest that approval and publication of such ads may implicate the company in international law violations. While some ads have been removed, concerns persist about Meta's policies related to promoting illegal settlement activity.
