Nestlé lays off 16,000 employees due to Israeli sanctions.

The Swiss company stressed that the decision to lay off 16,000 employees over the next two years was made due to the decline in sales caused by the sanctions campaign, in addition to the company’s costs being reduced by three billion Swiss francs by next year.

Nestlé owns more than half of the shares of the Israeli company Osem (one of the largest food companies in the Israeli regime).

The two-year war in Gaza and the commission of unprecedented crimes by the Zionists during this period have led to the formation of boycott campaigns against Israeli products and products in European, American, and other countries.

The Israeli media had previously reported that the Israeli restaurant chain known as “Shok” closed all its branches in Washington, the US capital, due to the sanctions against these restaurants.

The restaurant chain was launched more than a decade ago and offers dishes such as falafel and hummus, which are Arabic dishes, to customers.

According to the Zionist newspaper Haaretz, cultural activists have accused these restaurants of stealing and culturally appropriating Palestinian food, as well as colluding with the Israeli apartheid regime to import products from Zionist settlements into the United States.
