(FILES) The logo of the German insurance group Allianz in Munich, southern Germany, is pictured on May 12, 2021. Allianz has suspended its sponsorship of the annual Festival of Ideas in Madrid after celebrities threatened a boycott over the German insurance giant's ties to Israel, organisers said on September 15, 2026. "Allianz is today the world's largest buyer of Israeli state bonds and, therefore, an essential financial backer of the ongoing genocide," the celebrities, including Oscar-nominated Spanish director Rodrigo Sorogoyen, said in a statement, referring to the Gaza war launched after Hamas's 2023 attacks on Israel.
