Gaza, 6 Shawwal 1435/3 August 2014 (MINA) – In a sign that the Israeli occupation regime economy may face serious consequences in the wake of its ongoing massacre of Israel, a major Israeli export company has revealed that a large export deal has collapsed as result of Israel’s current attack on Gaza.
Fruit juice producer Priniv told The Marker (Hebrew) that a deal to export fresh fruit juices to Sweden worth has been called off after they refused to export the produce in a way that would make it easier to conceal the fact it was produced in Israel.
Customers in Belgium and France have also made similar requests. Priniv director Ido Yaniv attributed the drop in sales to Israel’s ongoing attack in Gaza, according to Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) Movement report monitored by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA).
Yaniv predicted that the company will lose orders worth NIS 1.5m as a result of Israel’s ongoing massacre in Gaza.
