They understood that it was complex. Through them and they took a side unilaterally and we are the ones dealing with it now. "
Kendler clarified that the company does not intend to act in accordance with Ben & Jerry's statements: "We are not prepared to violate Israeli law and boycott territories or areas within the country. Some of the country's officials were involved, still involved, and we hope they can change their decision." .

If the Israeli consumer does not boycott us and support us, then there will be no danger of dismissal and we will manage. "
