Magal Security Systems represents the commercial face of Israel's physical occupation infrastructure. The company was awarded $15 million to build 170km of the West Bank separation wall that the International Court of Justice ruled illegal in 2004. It constructed the Gaza barrier from 2002 and completed the "Iron Wall" smart fence upgrade in December 2021. Who Profits documents the company also operates systems within Israeli settlements. Magal actively markets its "world's most difficult border" experience to win international contracts, effectively monetising Palestinian imprisonment for global export.
Key Leverage Points
- NASDAQ Listing: Public company (MAGS) exposed to shareholder activism and ESG divestment campaigns
- ICJ Illegality: Direct involvement in infrastructure ruled illegal by International Court of Justice creates legal liability for partners
- Marketing Strategy: Company promotes occupation credentials internationally, providing documented evidence of complicity
- Settlement Operations: Who Profits documents operations in settlements illegal under international law
Evidence Summary
The evidence against Magal is comprehensive and indisputable. The company's own marketing materials boast of experience building the West Bank wall, Gaza barrier, and "Israel's most difficult borders." Who Profits research documents specific contract values ($15 million for wall sections) and settlement operations. The company's executives have publicly discussed their products' role in controlling Palestinian movement. International expansion to markets like India's border security program directly trades on occupation expertise.
Engagement Strategy
Target NASDAQ-listed stock through ESG investor engagement and divestment campaigns. Engage institutional investors on compliance risks from involvement in ICJ-ruled illegal infrastructure. Pressure international clients considering Magal contracts to review human rights implications. Support local campaigns against Magal's international expansion by documenting occupation role. Advocate for procurement policies excluding companies involved in construction of barriers declared illegal under international law.
