Barclays AGM Chaos: Palestine, Climate, Emissions

Chaos erupts at Barclays annual shareholder meeting as Palestine and climate activists storm the floor, protesting the banks ties to Israeli bonds, defense firms linked to Gaza operations, and heavy fossil fuel financing. Shareholders join in, criticizing the board for ditching a net zero group and dragging feet on emissions cuts. Chairman Nigel Higgins defends the banks climate goals and defense policies, but avoids specifics on Palestinian support. This unrest follows similar incidents at NatWest and Aviva, highlighting the banks struggle to balance profits, politics, and the planet.
