"Ben & Jerry's Board Demands Permanent Ceasefire in Gaza"

Ben & Jerry's board of directors, including founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, is calling for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza as Israel battles Hamas. The company, known for its social activism, has faced backlash for its stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, leading to tensions with parent company Unilever. The ongoing conflict has also impacted other businesses, with McDonald's reporting a business impact in the Middle East due to misinformation about its stance on the war.
