President Isaac Herzog slams the boycott movement against Israel following Ben & Jerry’s announcement that it will no longer sell ice cream in the “Occupied Palestinian Territories.”

“The boycott against Israel is a new type of terror, economic terror, a terror that tries to harm Israeli citizens and Israel’s economy,” Herzog says at a ceremony honoring past presidents and prime ministers.

He adds: “The BDS campaign is not pursuing peace and is seeking to undermine the State of Israel’s existence.”
