Turkish parliament removes brands from menu over alleged Israel support

Turkey’s parliament removed Coca Cola and Nestle products from its restaurants over their alleged support for Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, according to a parliament statement and a source who named the two companies, Reuters reports.

A parliamentary source said Coca-Cola beverages and Nestle instant coffee were the only brands removed from the menu. The source said the decision was taken in response to public demand.

Both companies have been named in social media posts in recent days by Turkish activists calling for a boycott of Israeli goods and Western companies they view as endorsing Israel.
