This Council notes that Northern Ireland Local Government pension provider NILGOSC purchased government bonds from the Israeli government which are being used by the Tel Aviv administration to fund its operations both within Israel and other territories.
As the pension provider for all local council workers, the Education Authority, the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, NI Libraries and many others including schools, it is a shock to many of the 176,000 members of this pension scheme that it is directly funding the Netanyahu-led government. Given the widespread horror felt by people of all political backgrounds at the targeting of civilians and children by the Israeli government in the war in Gaza the use of workers' and public sector money in a loan to the Israeli government is unacceptable.
Mid Ulster Council expresses its deep concern at the decision to purchase these bonds and calls on NILGOSC to dispose of them immediately.
