Torres Urged to Donate Arms Maker Profits He Made While Backing Aid to Israel
Briefly

Rep. Ritchie Torres reported investments in Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and L3Harris in a September 2024 filing that was disclosed nearly a year after the required deadline. These firms supply fighter jets, missiles, bombs, missile systems, and weapons components documented to be used by Israel in Gaza. The filing also lists a February investment in Honeywell International, whose components have been found in use in Gaza. Arms manufacturers are profiting from the extensive use of these weapons. CAIR-NY has called for full disclosure and for any profits from the investments to be donated to humanitarian charities in Gaza.
These companies all provide weapons to Israel's military. Lockheed supplies fighter jets, missiles, and bombs documented to be used in the Gaza genocide; Northrup Grumman provides missile systems for the Israeli military; and L3Harris manufactures weapons system components integrated in numerous systems. The filing also includes an investment from February into Honeywell International, Inc., whose weapons components have also been found in use by Israel in Gaza.
Sludge reported on Monday that Torres recently filed a financial disclosure revealing investments in Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and L3Harris in September 2024. These were not disclosed until last week, nearly a year after the deadline required for stock disclosures. These companies all provide weapons to Israel's military. Lockheed supplies fighter jets, missiles, and bombs documented to be used in the Gaza genocide; Northrup Grumman provides missile systems for the Israeli military; and L3Harris manufactures weapons system components integrated in numerous systems.
