| Ben and Jerry’s settles its lawsuit against parent company over settlement boycott |
| 2022-12-16 |
| [IsraelTimes] Unilever, the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s, says it resolved a lawsuit with the ice cream maker over its attempt to boycott Israeli settlements last year. "Unilever is pleased to announce that the litigation with Ben & Jerry’s Independent Board has been resolved," the UK-based conglomerate says in a terse statement, without providing further detail. The announcement appears to finally put an end to a legal battle that has dragged on for over a year. Ben & Jerry’s sued Unilever’s main US branch, Conopco, earlier this year as part of its boycott attempt, which it first announced in July 2021. Avi Zinger, the head of Ben & Jerry’s Israel branch and a key player in fighting against the boycott, says he is "pleased" that the litigation has been resolved. There were no details available about the settlement, but Zinger says there was no change to an agreement he inked with Unilever earlier this year. |
