Britain's Co-op to stop sourcing from Israel
- The Co-op Group announced it will start removing products like carrots from Israel and others from 17 countries of concern this month in the UK.

- Debbie White, who leads the Co-op Group Board, explained that the new policy reflects the group's commitment to cooperative principles by responding directly to the feedback and concerns expressed by its members.
- The phased removal of products aligns with the Co-op's ethical sourcing commitment and aims to support peace and co-operation while maintaining business integrity.
