Francesca Albanese's report from June 30, 2025, highlights the extensive Western industrial and technological support to Israel amidst its military actions in Gaza. She identifies over sixty companies, including tech giants like Microsoft and Google, providing both arms and advanced technology.

The report claims Israel has significantly benefited from international partnerships that enable its military capabilities, with the U.S. Lockheed Martin leading the largest defense procurement program for the F-35 fighter jet.

Albanese's findings led to backlash from Israel and the U.S., resulting in a travel ban for her. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions due to her alleged efforts to influence the ICC against U.S. and Israeli leaders. The French government condemned her remarks, while Albanese strongly refuted the accusations, emphasizing that her critiques of Israel are not rooted in anti-Semitism.
