Orange announces it will cut ties with Israeli mobile company
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Orange cellular service announces it is seeking to cut ties with Israel’s Partner mobile service.
In a statement, the company confirms that it is seeking to sever its business agreement with the Israeli company, but says it’s not interested in entering a political debate.
The Orange CEO said Wednesday that his company would like to drop its association with Partner in protest over Israeli policies toward the Palestinians. In response, the Israeli envoy in Paris lodged a formal complaint with the French government, which owns shares of the company.
