Unilever sells Ben & Jerry's Israeli business to defuse row
29 June 2022; MEMO: Unilever, on Wednesday, sold its Ben & Jerry's ice cream business in Israel to its local licensee for an undisclosed sum, aiming to smooth over a potentially damaging diplomatic row, Reuters reports.
The deal comes after the US ice cream brand announced last year it would stop marketing products in the occupied Palestinian territories, saying that selling there was "inconsistent" with its values.
