Barclays’ annual general meeting was disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters in London, who criticized the bank’s ties to Israel amid ongoing conflict. Despite heightened security, activists managed to interrupt the meeting multiple times, leading to a discussion about the potential for companies to hold entirely online meetings to avoid such disruptions. The UK government is expected to clarify the legal status of online AGMs, while Barclays faces backlash over its financial activities related to defense companies linked to the Israel Defense Forces.
