Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) called on the State Board of Administration (SBA) last week to place Ben & Jerry’s, along with its parent company Unilever, on the state’s Scrutinized Companies List.
DeSantis made his demand in a letter to the board after Ben & Jerry’s, a popular ice cream manufacturer that often mixes business and political activism, announced that it would no longer sell ice cream in the Judea and Samaria, also known as Israel’s West Bank. The ice cream company said that the sale of product in Judea and Samaria is “inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.”
