Avi Singer, the CEO and owner of Ben & Jerrys Israel, which refused to boycott parts of the State of Israel and subsequently announced that the contract with him will not be renewed at the end of 2022, replied: "There is no legal possibility to continue selling in Israel without selling in Judea and Samaria. Any new arrangement that does not include sale in all areas of Israel means a violation of Israeli law.
Singer added: "In the coming weeks, the Knesset's Constitution Committee will approve the boycott law regulations approved last week by the finance and justice ministers, which will allow immediate sanctions against the company following what Unilever's CEO said."
