The French-based transportation giant drew international criticism and has been blacklisted by Swedish pension fund AP7 and the Dutch ASN Bank after participating in the construction of the Jerusalem Light Railway due to its route passing through occupied Palestinian territories in East Jerusalem.
“We must prosecute and boycott companies that deal with the Zionist entity and seek out ‘clean’ companies that provide good and acceptable services,” said Sabri in a press statement on Friday, noting the possibility that Saudi officials were unaware of the company’s gloomy history.
“Dealing with companies that deal with the Zionist entity in projects to Judaize Jerusalem is normalizing relations with such an entity,” added Sabri, who also gives Friday sermons at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Speaking on the ills of the Jerusalem Light Railway, Sabri said the 14-km long railway has inconvenienced the residents of occupied Jerusalem and constricted street space in addition to its aim of Judaizing Jerusalem by providing fast access by settlers in West Jerusalem to east Jerusalem, which the Israelis are trying to Judaize by uprooting Palestinians and replacing them with Jewish settlers.
