Israeli clothing line to open first branch in Ramallah

Fox

The Israeli based fashion chain Fox is to open its first franchise in a mall in the Palestinian city of Ramallah, a move that is already facing strong opposition by Palestinian activists, Ynet reported on Monday.

Recently, a banner was hung on one of the commercial centers in the Palestinian city, announcing that the clothing and home-design chain will soon open a branch there. While potential Palestinian customers are expressing their support, the decision has also sparked a storm on social networks among Palestinian activists who vehemently oppose any normalization with Israel and the sale of products of Israeli companies in the Palestinian Authority
