Unilever, the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s, has asked a US judge to dismiss a lawsuit from the ice cream maker as a court battle over its attempt to boycott Israeli settlements drags on.
The UK conglomerate argued in a Friday court filing that Ben & Jerry’s had overstepped its bounds with the attempted boycott last year and its lawsuit against Unilever. |
