PNN – Sanctions against companies supporting the Israeli regime over the war against defenseless residents of the Gaza Strip and the regime’s crimes in the region continue.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing the “Cairo 24” news site, the “Pepsi” company stopped the supply of one of the most popular soft drinks in Egypt due to the boycott of the “Lipton” company’s products.
Egyptian businessmen and economic activists announced that after a few months have passed since the launch of the campaign and sanctions campaigns in Egypt against companies supporting the Zionist regime, especially “Pepsi” and “Lipton” companies, the popular product “Lipton Ice Tea” (Ice Tea) is completely out of the market.
A look at the pages of online stores that sell food and drinks shows that the stock of “Lipton IST” in these stores has been exhausted for a long time.
Meanwhile, the officials of some chain stores in Egypt announced that the drink “Libpon Ice Tea” was very popular with the people in the past years and in the summer season, but it has not been imported to this country in the past few months.
“Hazem El Munofi”, the head of the food department of the Alexandria City Chamber of Commerce, said that this drink has been rare in the Egyptian market for a long time.

At the same time, informed sources in companies that import carbonated drinks announced that the embargo on companies supporting the Zionist regime in Egypt has reduced the profits of companies that import these products by at least 70% in the past few months.
According to Egyptian businessmen, the amount of sales of the two companies “Pepsi Cola” and “Coca Cola” in Egypt last year and before the increase in the price of the products was about 30 billion pounds (Egyptian currency, where 49 pounds is one dollar).
These two companies increased the price of their products in several stages after the increase in requests for sanctions in Egypt, which led to a decrease in their sales, and this increase has reached 150% so far.
The war in Gaza has already caused heavy damages to other companies supporting the socialist regime, such as “Kentucky”, “Starbucks”, “McDonald’s” and some sanitary and detergent companies, manufacturers of sweets, chocolates and carbonated drinks.
The boycott of the Zionist regime in the form of popular campaigns at the world level and the growing isolation of Tel Aviv due to the genocide in the Gaza Strip have hit the economy of this regime and its supporting companies.
“Starbucks”, the American multinational chain of coffee shops, is no exception to this rule. Laxman Narismahan, the CEO of American multinational coffee shop chain Starbucks, has resigned after only one year in this position, and Brian Nicol, the CEO of Shibutel, has replaced him and will start his work on September 9.
Rai Alyoum wrote: The decrease in sales and demand due to the sanctions related to the war in the Gaza Strip has contributed to this situation.
This newspaper added: “McDonald’s” American restaurant chain was not spared and witnessed a sharp drop in sales. This company is involved in financing Israel’s war and serving the apartheid regime of the Zionist regime.
Rai Alyoum further pointed to the increase in sanctions imposed by the Zionist regime on Turkey in the shadow of this regime’s genocidal war against the residents of Gaza, and considered this increase in public support for this sanction as the reason for the suspension of business relations between Ankara and Tel Aviv.
This newspaper wrote: Sanction campaigns will increase the global isolation of the Zionist regime and have a negative impact on the treasury of the occupying regime. This regime has been isolated by the Western nations against the genocide in the Gaza Strip.
