LondonThe Conservatives took 39 JCB donations under Badenoch, advocacy outlet Declassified UK reported.
The UN accuses JCB of supplying equipment used to demolish Palestinian homes and farms.
The donations total over £1.3m, most to central office, and Kemi Badenoch opposed new sanctions on settlement-linked companies last month.
Amnesty UK’s Peter Frankental called JCB’s products “part of the machinery of ethnic cleansing and apartheid.”
JCB has a stand at the Conservative conference in Birmingham this week.
