Göteborg City Council stops purchases from Israel, reports Swedish Radio Göteborg.
The decision was made in the procurement and purchasing committee on Thursday following a proposal from the governing parties in Göteborg City Council – the Social Democrats, the Left Party and the Green Party – who want to stop all purchases from, among other places, Israel.
"Israel is conducting an illegal occupation of the West Bank, which has only worsened in the shadow of the widespread killing of civilians in Gaza. Our tax money should not be used to economically support occupying powers", said the Chairman of the City Council, Jonas Attenius (S), in a previous press release.
