European-Funded NGOs Behind the Orange Boycott Israel Campaign

(NGO Monitor) In May, a coalition of French NGOs, along with the Palestinian NGO Al Haq, published "Orange's Dangerous Liaisons in the Occupied Palestinian Territory." The NGOs met with Orange, which "recognizes that having business relations with [the Israeli firm] Partner poses risks to the company's reputation." Following the publication of the report, Saeb Erekat, lead negotiator of the Palestinian Authority, wrote to France's foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, to denounce the link between Orange and Partner.
