Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett protested against Ben & Jerry’s decision to no longer sell its products in Israeli settlements in the West Bank, where he spoke with the director of Ben & Jerry’s owner company Unilever. Bennett told Unilever CEO, Alan Jope, that he was looking very seriously at Ben & Jerry’s decision to boycott Israel. He asserts that Unilever is taking a clearly anti-Israeli step. He also stressed about the “serious legal implications” of the resolution. The Israeli Representative to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, sent letters to the governors of 35 States with laws against the boycott of Israel, asking them to impose sanctions on Ben & Jerry’s in accordance with their own legislation. In the letter, Erdan wrote that “the boycott of hundreds of thousands of citizens living in Judea and Samaria” was “the actual adoption of anti-Semitic practices and the promotion of the de-legitimization of the Jewish State and the dehumanization of the Jewish people,” using the Torah name to reference the West Bank. State governors were asked to speak out against the company’s decision and take any relevant steps regarding their state laws and business dealings between Ben & Jerry’s and those states.
