Criticism

Involvement in Israeli settlements

On 12 February 2020, the United Nations published a database of companies doing business related in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as well as in the occupied Golan Heights. The Egis Group was listed on the database on account of the activities of its subsidy Egis Rail Israel in Israeli settlements in these occupied territories, which are considered illegal under international law.
