Israeli businesses set up anti-BDS hotline

A network representing Israeli businesses launches a hotline meant to serve business owners and exporters facing issues related to the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement.

The hotline, established by the Presidium of Israel Business Organizations, will handle the complaints and concerns of those facing boycotts or threats of boycotts.

“The new line will enable us to provide individual and discreet solutions for Israeli businesses exposed to boycotts and attempted boycotts,” Dan Catarivas, Director of the Division of Foreign Trade and International Relations at the Manufacturers’ Association of Israel, tells the Israeli business daily Globes.

In the framework of the new line, a team of lawyers and economic consultants specializing in international trade will be on hand to advise business owners facing boycotts.
