Court Halts Gothenburg’s Boycott on Israeli Goods

Published: 2024-06-27

The Gothenburg city council's decision to boycott Israeli products has been temporarily halted by the Administrative Court.

The decision, made on June 13 by the council's procurement committee, aimed to stop purchasing products from countries engaged in illegal occupations, specifically targeting Israel, Russia, and Morocco.

The court found strong indications that the boycott decision is illegal and highlighted potential significant consequences.

Opposition parties, who challenged the decision, have been supported by the court's ruling.

The court's final verdict is still pending.
