This marks the first time a sovereign wealth fund of this magnitude ($2T) has initiated an ethics review specifically targeting Israeli military-industrial investments during active conflict. The unprecedented scrutiny of Bet Shemesh Engines Ltd, which maintains fighter jets, represents a new level of financial pressure on Israel's defense infrastructure from traditionally neutral European nations.

📰 What Happened
Norway's $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund announced plans to review its Israeli investments due to ethics concerns over the Gaza conflict. Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg confirmed measures will be announced next week, though ruled out complete divestment. The review was triggered by revelations of the fund's stake in Bet Shemesh Engines Ltd, an Israeli military contractor. The ethics watchdog acknowledged oversight regarding the investment evaluation process. The announcement comes ahead of Norway's September 8 elections.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The convergence of Norway's $2T fund review with other recent developments accelerates multiple prophecies. The targeting of Israeli military contractors like Bet Shemesh Engines aligns with Zechariah's prophecy of nations gathering against Jerusalem. The timing ahead of Norway's elections shows how Israeli-Palestinian conflicts increasingly influence global economic decisions. This combines with recent Gulf state investment shifts and European ethical investment policies to create unprecedented financial pressure on Israel, setting stage for the economic isolation described in end-time scenarios.
