Turkish Parliament Removes Coca-Cola, Nestle Products Over Allegations of Supporting Israel Amid Gaza Conflict
Decision Aligns with Public Sensitivity Regarding Boycotts; Coca-Cola Beverages and Nestle Instant Coffee Removed From Parliamentary Menus Amid Unspecified Allegations of Support for Israel's War Efforts
- The Turkish parliament has removed Coca-Cola and Nestle products from its campus restaurants due to allegations that the companies are supporting Israel during the ongoing Gaza conflict.
- The decision aims to align with public sentiment for boycotting products from companies allegedly supporting Israel's actions in the conflict, and in response to a notable public outcry against these two companies.
- Coca-Cola beverages and Nestle instant coffee were the specific brands removed from the parliament restaurant menus.
- Neither the parliament statement nor the source specified how Coca-Cola and Nestle supported Israel's efforts in the conflict.
- Turkish activists have been naming both companies in recent social media posts advocating for boycotts of Israeli goods and Western companies deemed supportive of Israel. This is the first notable governmental or organizational action to target global brands in relation to the Gaza conflict.
