<div class="">
<p>In a statement released on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=778302104322390&amp;set=a.486771543475449">Facebook</a>&nbsp;yesterday, 5 February, FamilyMart stated that Itochu Aviation, a subsidiary under the convenience store&#8217;s parent company, Itochu Corporation, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Nippon Aircraft Supply as well as Elbit Systems.</p>
<p>This agreement was made in March last year to import defence technologies for Japan&#8217;s national security. </p>
<p>Malaysians recently called for a boycott of FamilyMart after discovering its connection with Elbit Systems, an Israel-based international military technology company and defence contractor.<br /><u></u><br />Subsequently, the popular convenience store chain issued an official statement, revealing that its parent company, FamilyMart Co Ltd Japan, had informed them that Itochu Aviation had decided to terminate the MoU with the Israeli company.</p>

<p>According to the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.nst.com.my/world/world/2024/01/1006217/world-court-orders-israel-prevent-acts-genocide-fails-order-ceasefire">New Straits Times</a>, the ICJ ordered Israel to stop acts of genocide against Palestinians and urged them to implement measures to improve the humanitarian situation for Palestinian civilians.</p>
<p>&#8220;The decision is made in support of the Japanese government&#8217;s support of the recent ICJ order, which includes preventing acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip,&#8221; said FamilyMart Malaysia in its statement.﻿</p>
<p>&#8220;FamilyMart Malaysia reiterates our stand that we do not support violence or killing and that we do not contribute to or donate or deal with Israel,&#8221; it added.</p>
