Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett told the head of Ben & Jerrys parent company, Unilever, Tuesday that the ice cream makers move to halt sales in the Occupied Palestinian Territory could carry severe consequences.
Prime Minister Bennett spoke with Alan Jope, CEO of Unilever which owns Ben & Jerrys and made it clear that he views with utmost gravity the decision by Ben & Jerrys to boycott Israel and added that this is a subsidiary of Unilever, which has taken a clearly anti-Israel step, the prime ministers office said on Twitter.
The British consumer goods conglomerate acquired Vermont-based Ben & Jerrys in 2000.
