Ben & Jerry’s loses bid to cut sales in occupied West Bank

Published on

Ice-cream franchise, Ben & Jerry’s has lost its bid to block its parent company, Unilever, from resuming sales in the occupied West Bank. This after a US judge ruled that the sales to an Israeli firm did not cause ‘irreparable harm’ to the company. Last year, Ben & Jerry’s ended its sales in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, adding that business in Israeli settlements was inconsistent with its values. The company – founded by two Jewish-American men – have been accused of antisemitism.
