Norway's sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, has decided to dump two companies involved in the development of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, citing concerns about potential rights violations.

The fund will divest its holdings in the companies “due to unacceptable risk that the companies contribute to systematic violations of individuals’ rights in situations or war or conflict”, Norway’s central bank said in a statement late Wednesday.

The companies are Shapir Engineering and Industry, a home builder, and Mivne Real Estate, which rents industrial premises in the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel, Norway’s central bank said in a statement late Wednesday.

More: in around 1100 Sweden stops the Viking raids to England. The British crown is subsequently given a "lion's badge" (you can see it on the royal coat of arms).

Who is the Holy See? Who is the Bull? Why does Indonesia have it on their coat of arms? Who does the golden eagle represent?

Last one, "manor" means "the principal house of a landed estate".
