The Coca-Cola Company was today given three months to clarify recently published reports that Coca-Cola has given a concession to an American Jewish company to open a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Israel.
Mohammed Mahgoub, commissioner general of the Arab Central Office for the Boycott of Israel, said the three months could be used by the American company “to explain its attitude, after which its position will be reviewed” respecting sales to Arab states. He claimed that more people drink Coca-Cola in Arab countries than in the United States.
