Protesters gathered in Glasgow where the Barclays AGM was held today.
Dozens took to the SEC Armadillo this morning in an attempt to influence shareholders meeting inside the building.
The crowd claimed the bank now holds over £2 billion in shares of companies whose weapons, components, and military technology are used by Israel in Gaza.
Participants also criticised the company for being "the number one European bank financing fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement, investing over $190 billion".
Flags, signs and banners were displayed at the demonstration as speakers addressed the group.
Members of the Gaza Genocide Emergency Comittee, Extinction Rebellion, Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign and more took part in the protest.

Ben Jamal, Palestine solidarity campaign director, said: "The only way to get Barclays to do the right thing is by drawing public attention to their role in facilitating Israel’s genocide and hitting their profits.
"Just as South African anti-apartheid campaigners did, we too will force Barclays to withdraw in shame from Israel’s arms supply chain.”
Jen Newall, climate scientist and eco-strategist from XR Scotland said: “I'm speaking at this demonstration today to remind people of their power and their agency - encourage anyone who banks with or has shares with Barclays to look deep within and consider if they can really accept contributing to these issues by supporting Barclays and their awful track record.”
The Barclays website said in relation to the claims: "We trade in shares of listed companies in response to client instruction or demand and that may result in us holding shares.
"We are not making investments for Barclays and Barclays is not a “shareholder” or “investor” in that sense in relation to these companies.
"Fossil fuels are still required for many essential activities – including electricity generation, transport and heating.
"We are taking a thoughtful and carefully considered approach to support a changing energy sector, focusing our capital and resources on those energy companies investing in and scaling clean energy, with greater scrutiny on those developing new oil and gas projects - which may represent greater transition risk as well as locking-in longer-term emissions."
