Ben & Jerry's says Unilever tried to block statements in support of Palestinians
Briefly

Ben & Jerry's claims legal action against Unilever for blocking their public statements supporting Palestinian refugees, breaching a prior agreement on the brand's social mission.
The lawsuit highlights Ben & Jerry's attempts to advocate for peace, support Palestinian refugees, and call out for a halt to military aid to Israel, which Unilever allegedly silenced.
Unilever's actions reportedly breach a previous agreement ensuring that Ben & Jerry's independent board could operate within their social guidelines, raising questions about corporate governance.
In response, Unilever acknowledged the tragic events in the Middle East but firmly rejected the claims, stating their commitment to defend against Ben & Jerry's lawsuit.
