Co-Op Members Vote to Remove All Israeli Products From Stores - Birmingham Live

  • On May 17, 2025, Co-op members voted at the annual general meeting to remove all Israeli products from store shelves across the UK.
  • The motion, demanding the board to show 'moral courage and leadership,' followed growing solidarity with Palestinians after the Gaza war and was supported by about 73% of members.
  • The motion is advisory and led the Co-op leadership to confirm a sourcing policy review slated for completion by summer 2025, aiming to reflect members' views and organizational values.
  • UK Lawyers for Israel condemned the motion as defamatory and racist, arguing it promotes hatred and undermines confidence in the Co-op, while pro-Palestine activists urged full implementation.
  • This vote marks a notable shift in UK public response to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with potential implications for retail practices and wider boycott campaigns.
