'Israeli' farmers report widening boycott of exports across Europe, Japan: Reports
'Israeli' farmers and food exporters are reporting a sharp rise in boycott efforts against their agricultural products across Europe, according to a report published Wednesday by the Hebrew outlet Ynet. The growing backlash, triggered by ongoing public opposition to 'Israel's' war in Gaza, has led to both formal and informal actions by major retailers, with some suppliers even noting hesitations from markets as far as Japan. The Ynet report cites exporters saying that European countries like Belgium and Ireland have effectively begun boycotting 'Israeli' produce. In recent weeks, Italy's and the UK's Co-op chains announced they would stop selling 'Israeli' products, and now other retailers—such as the UK's Waitrose and Germany's Aldi—are reportedly following suit, even without public declarations. 'For six weeks now, Aldi has been doing everything possible to avoid buying from us,' a potato exporter told Ynet. 'In the past two weeks, we're hearing louder voices calling for a boycott in Germany, and that's new.' Germany, which has historically refrained from participating in such boycotts due to its strong ties with 'Israel', appears to be experiencing a shift in public and commercial sentiment. While no official government boycott is in place, exporters say they are encountering increasing pushback in private dealings. The pressure is not confined to Europe. According to the report, some 'Israeli' exporters are also facing signs of reluctance from Japanese buyers, signaling that the impact may soon extend beyond Europe. The widening boycott is adding to the concerns of 'Israel's' agriculture sector, which heavily relies on foreign markets for its produce exports.

US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff said Wednesday that new countries, some of which were never expected, will soon normalize relations with 'Israel' under the Abraham Accords framework. 'We think we will have some pretty big announcements on countries that are coming into the Abraham Accords,' Witkoff told CNBC. 'We're hoping for normalization across an array of countries, maybe that people would never have contemplated coming in before.' He emphasized that expanding the Abraham Accords remains a key objective of US President Donald Trump, who returned to office in 2025. The agreements, initially signed in 2020 between 'Israel and the UAE and Bahrain, were later joined by Morocco and Sudan. Witkoff said the US would issue a 'significant announcement' soon on the new wave of normalization. 'We expect many countries to normalize relations,' he added. His comments came after the end of a 12-day war between 'Israel' and Iran, which concluded Tuesday with a US-brokered ceasefire. The conflict, which began with 'Israeli' strikes on Iran, included a series of escalating attacks—among them, 'Israeli' bombings of Iranian military and nuclear sites, and retaliatory Iranian strikes on 'Israeli' intelligence centers. The US also carried out airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities before Iran responded by targeting the American Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar. Witkoff, who played a major role in negotiating the truce, expressed optimism about the future. 'We've received strong indications that a comprehensive peace agreement [with Iran] is possible. I believe Iran is ready,' he said. However, he warned that Iran's resumed uranium enrichment is a red line. 'Enrichment is a red line. Weaponization is another. We will never allow that. It would destabilize the entire region,' Witkoff said.

Ben-Gvir claims Gaza aid is "oxygen for Hamas"
'Israeli' National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has publicly condemned the continued delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza, calling it a 'disgrace' and demanding an immediate and complete end to the assistance, not just a temporary pause. 'What is needed in Gaza is not a temporary halt of the 'humanitarian' aid, but a complete cessation of it,' Ben-Gvir wrote in a post on X, on Thursday. He claimed the aid is sustaining Hamas and argued that he had been the sole voice of opposition in the cabinet when aid was approved over a month ago. הסיוע ההומניטרי שנכנס לעזה כרגע הוא ביזיון מוחלט. מה שנדרש בעזה הוא לא עצירה זמנית של הסיוע ה"הומניטרי", אלא עצירה מוחלטת שלו. כשהזהרתי והתרעתי, והיחיד לצערי שהצביע לפני חודש וחצי נגד הכנסת הסיוע שהיה ברור לי כי הוא יתן חמצן לחמאס. היה מי שלעג לי וטען ש"הסיוע יכנס לצפון הרצועה… — איתמר בן גביר (@itamarbengvir) June 26, 2025 'There were those who mocked me and claimed that 'the aid entering the northern Strip would only be for 10 days,'' Ben-Gvir continued. 'And now it is becoming clear what was known in advance: Hamas is taking control of the quantities of food and goods, which contribute to its survival.' He vowed to demand a re-vote on the issue at the next 'Israeli' cabinet meeting, stating that 'stopping the aid will quickly advance us toward victory.' Ben-Gvir's comments come just hours after 'Israel' reportedly halted all humanitarian deliveries into Gaza, according to Hebrew Channel 12. The move follows 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's directive to the army to develop a new plan for aid distribution, citing concerns that Hamas is commandeering supplies. The temporary suspension will remain in place until the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) present a revised distribution strategy, Channel 12 reported, quoting an 'Israeli' official. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, another far-right figure in Netanyahu's coalition, has also ramped up pressure on the government. He reportedly threatened to resign if the issue of aid to Hamas was not addressed decisively.
