The CEO of Unilever, the parent company to Ben & Jerryâs, said on July 22 that they are âfully committed to our business in Israel.â
Alan Jope, the CEO, reportedly told investors on call, âUnilever remains fully committed to our business in Israelâ and that Ben & Jerryâs July 19 announcement that they will no longer manufacture and sell products in the âOccupied Palestinian Territoryâ was a decision made by them and their board.
âIt is not our intent to regularly visit matters of this, where sensitivity has been a long-standing issue for Ben & Jerryâs,â Jope said.
