Ben and Jerry's leadership is calling for a "pemanent and immediate ceasefire" in Gaza, with its board of directors chair decrying that the "corporate world has been silent" about the conflict.

Ben & Jerry's board chair Anuradha Mittal on Tuesday told the Financial Times that the ice cream maker's call for peace in Gaza is "consistent with the company's history and values." The interview marks one of the few instances when a U.S. company has publicly supported an end to the Israel-Hamas war, the FT noted.
