GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)

GSK has a location in Israel, in the illegal 1878 settlement of Petach Tikva, which was formerly the Palestinian village of Mlabes. It was the first of 57 communities to be seized by Zionists during the pre-1948 era of “land redemption”.

In 2013, a delegation of GSK scientists visited Israel for the first time to “facilitate cooperation between Israeli academic scientists and GSK”. Dr Duncan Holmes, who led this ‘initiative’ said:

“..Israel is full of potential, and we are excited to be exploring the opportunities for collaboration here.”
