SodaStream goes pop? May close plant because Israel government won’t renew permits for Palestinians
‘Manufacturer of home soda machines SodaStream may shut down its factory in Israel’s south if the government doesn’t renew permits for 74 of its Palestinian workers, the Jerusalem Post says.
Tel-Aviv-based SodaStream may shortly have to shut down its factory in Lehavim, CEO Daniel Birnbaum said on Wednesday. The reason being the Israeli government’s reluctance to issue permits for Palestinian employees, ranging from assembly line workers to managers.
“Most of these employees have been with us for six years, and I’ve been begging the government to let me keep them,” Birnbaum was quoted by the Jerusalem Post as saying. “But they won’t let my 74 continue to work. It’s just unbelievable,” he added, noting there are over 100,000 Palestinians working in Israel every day.’
