      It’s about companies involved with the Israeli military and their actions in Gaza. The rest have either, not been found to be involved, or are being kept as a bargaining chip I guess.

        That’s my suspicion too. Cutting all ties also cuts all talks. Norges Bank has a duty to their own investors to balance the financial interest with ethical principles. If they’re otherwise profitable, it makes sense to hold on to the shares and use them as diplomatic leverage instead.

        Not all activism needs to be cut-and-dry. Often, negotiations can move a lot more than pure antagonism (though they often need to be backed up by some “otherwise…” to hold any weight).
