      Spanish fashion giant Zara is facing calls for a boycott from Palestinian citizens of Israel, after the company’s franchisor for its Israeli stores hosted far-right leader Itamar Ben Gvir at an campaign event.

The owner of the international Zara franchise in Israel, Canadian billionaire Joey Schwebel – hosted a party on Thursday, October 20, in his villa to support Ben Gvir in the elections.

      Wellington: In a landmark ruling, the Employment Court of New Zealand has declared four Uber drivers as proper employees of the company, paving the way for other countries to follow the suit and force the ride-hailing giant to treat its drivers as employees rather than independent contractors.

      In recent days, a flood of companies have severed ties with Kanye West amid a whirlwind of controversy engulfing the 45-year-old rapper and fashion designer. West stoked the backlash when he wore a White Lives Matter shirt to his Yeezy Season 9 show at Paris Fashion Week in early October. Then on social media, West threatened to go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,” before doubling down in a succession of antisemitic statements. On Tuesday morning, Adidas became the latest company to join the exodus when it announced the end of its partnership with West.
