The European Works Council, representing employees of Inditex, has urged the parent company of Zara and other major fashion brands to end its franchise agreements in Israel due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This request aligns with previous calls from European labor unions for stronger action regarding the situation in Gaza. The council has formally communicated its position to Inditex headquarters and is awaiting a response, while emphasizing the moral imperative to sever commercial ties with Israeli franchise partners. Inditex, which operates dozens of stores in Israel through franchise agreements, has not yet issued a public statement on the matter.
