(Newser) – Israel’s prime minister has warned Ben & Jerry’s that there will be « serious consequences, legal and otherwise » for its decision to ban sales of its ice cream in what the company calls « Occupied Palestinian Territory. » Naftali Bennett said Tuesday that Israel « will act aggressively against all boycott actions directed against its citizens, » the AP reports. Bennett said he had spoken to Unilever CEO Alan Jope about the move, though Unilever, which acquired Ben & Jerry’s in 2000, said in a statement that the decision had been made by the ice cream maker’s independent board, reports the BBC.
