Ben & Jerry's to stop selling ice cream in Palestinian territories
The US ice cream giant will continue operations in Israel.
A major ice cream company said Monday it would stop operations in the Palestinian territories, though it will continue to sell its sugary products in Israel.
Ben & Jerry’s said that selling ice cream in the territories goes against the company’s principles.
“We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT),” they said in a press release.
The ice cream-maker will continue to operate in Israel, however, albeit with a different licensee.
