Ha'aretz
4 April 2002
The largest grocery chain in Norway has announced that it is imposing
a boycott on goods produced in Israel, Israel Radio reported Thursday.
It said the Co-op chain also urged other firms in Scandinavian
nations to follow suit.
The radio added that there would be discussions in Sweden later
in the day over a possible widening of the reported boycott. It
quoted Sweden's foreign minister as saying she opposed a boycott,
saying it would sap the strength of opponents of Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon.
