American ice cream brand Ben & Jerry s on Monday, July 19, said it would stop marketing its products in the occupied Palestinian territories, bowing to Palestinian pressure campaigns and saying that selling there was inconsistent with company values.
The South Burlington, Vermont-based company, which is owned by Britain s Unilever Plc, has come under pressure from pro-Palestinian groups over its business in Israel and Jewish settlements in the West Bank, which is handled through a licensee partner since 1987.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, whose party favors Jewish settlements in the West Bank, said Ben & Jerry s was making a morally wrong decision.
