The company has announced that it will stop selling its products in the settlements

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has warned Ben & Jerry’s against “tough measures” against boycotters after the ice cream company announced it would stop selling its products in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The company recognizes international law which considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank as illegal.

Bennett threatened the brand’s parent company, Unilever, that it would face legal and economic consequences as well as other consequences.

The company said in a statement Monday that selling its products in the West Bank and East Jerusalem was “incompatible with our values,” which the Palestinians hailed.
