Ben & Jerry's co-founder creating watermelon-flavoured ice cream to support Palestine

Ben & Jerry's co-founder, Ben Cohen, is creating a watermelon-flavored ice cream to support peace in Palestine. Cohen stated that the brand's parent company, Unilever/Magnum, had previously blocked an official attempt by Ben & Jerry's to create such a flavor and also prevented them from stopping sales in occupied territories. The new, independent flavor is intended to highlight the suffering of the Palestinian people, particularly children, and call for a permanent peace. The watermelon is a recognized symbol of Palestinian solidarity, and Cohen is asking the public for creative input on the product.
