Deputy Public Security Minister Yair Golan says he has asked for his name to be removed from a letter to the CEO of Unilever calling for a reversal of the decision to halt Ben & Jerry’s ice cream sales in Israeli settlements.
The letter was signed by 90 MKs, with Golan the sole lawmaker in the left-wing Meretz party to sign it.
“After signing I understand the letter does not reflect my views. Cities in Judea and Samaria are not cities in Israel,” Golan tweets, using the biblical names for the West Bank.
