While Palestinians are starving, French supermarket giant Carrefour is
fueling Israel's illegal occupation through a franchise deal which
supplies many settlement supermarkets.

Carrefour's AGM is today and our partners will be there to challenge the
company. Now they need our help to keep up the pressure online and show
Carrefour executives that people everywhere are demanding it cut ties with
occupation.

John,

Half a million people in Gaza face starvation – purposefully caused by
Netanyahu’s government. Meanwhile, some companies don’t miss a beat in
feeding this oppressive system – like the French supermarket giant
Carrefour.

In 2022 Carrefour launched a franchise partnership with Israeli company
Electra Consumer Products (ECP), and is now supplying dozens of
supermarkets across Israel, including many supermarkets in illegal
settlements. 

In July 2024, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel's
occupation, including its settlements, is entirely illegal. So why is
Carrefour still in partnership with ECP?

Today is Carrefour's annual general meeting, and our partners will be
there posing questions and challenging the company on its support for
illegal occupation. Now they need our help to keep up the pressure online
and show company executives (and their staff!) that people all over the
world are demanding it cut ties with occupation.

Carrefour has over 14,000 stores worldwide. It's been under pressure for
years to divest from Israeli settlements. In fact, public pressure through
boycotts was so intense in Jordan and Oman, the company was forced to
close in those countries. 

While those are likely smaller markets for Carrefour, the truth is, the
tide is turning on Israel's occupation and genocide everywhere. Businesses
and governments are realizing that the cost of fueling these war crimes is
too high to bear. It shouldn't take Carrefour kicking and screaming to
also realise this. 

As a global movement of millions, we have the power to move Carrefour. Due
to the relentless efforts of the Ekō community and partners all over the
world, two other French companies, Orange and Veolia, divested from the
Israeli occupation. Today, we can do it again and force Carrefour to end
its criminal business dealings.
