Carrefour closes all Jordan branches as boycott Israel movement claims success
4 November 2024 21:28 GMT
Carrefour announced on Facebook that it will shut down all of its branches in Jordan starting Monday. This move aligns with heightened calls from the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which had urged boycotts against Carrefour due to the ongoing Gaza war and accusations of support for Israel.
In a statement, Carrefour Jordan confirmed, “As of November 4, 2024, Carrefour will cease all its operations in Jordan and will not continue to operate within the kingdom. We thank our customers for their support and apologise for any inconvenience this decision may cause.”
The Jordanian branch of the boycott movement declared Carrefour’s decision a “victory for the Jordanian people” in a celebratory Instagram post.
