UN blacklists Tnuva, Aroma over West Bank settlement ties; Israel decries smear

The UN added Israeli firms Tnuva and Aroma to its database of businesses operating in West Bank settlements, expanding a list Israel calls a flawed, defamatory mechanism. The move signals continued international legal and reputational pressure on settlement-linked commerce, though it carries no direct enforcement. Israel's rejection suggests diplomatic friction but no immediate operational impact.
