Carrefour suspends operations in Oman

The company, which was boycotted for its support for Israel, was forced to close all its branches. According to the statement, all branches in the country will be closed from January 7, 2025.

Carrefour Oman has officially announced the closure of all its stores. The announcement was made via the company's social media pages. According to the statement, all stores in the country will be closed from January 7, 2025.

The exact reasons for the company's closure and further details about the process were not provided. However, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel is seeing the closure of Carrefour stores in Oman as another success in the global movement to this end.

France-based Carrefour has been accused of supporting Israel for years, with many groups worldwide protesting attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, including the BDS movement, boycotting the company.

As a result of such pressure, Carrefour stores in Jordan also closed on November 4, 2024. The closure in Oman is seen as another example of how boycotts are affecting trade sectors in the region.

The French retail giant's position in other countries could also be affected by the growing political and economic pressure, which international observers see as a warning sign for companies with ties to Israel.
