- Bokitta products were removed from John Lewis’s website.
- Bokitta said the disputed image was shared without sufficient scrutiny.

## Summary

John Lewis is investigating a Beirut-based clothing supplier after posts linked to the company and its co-founder appeared to praise or support Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack on Israel. The retailer’s Bokitta products, including hijabs and a prayer set, were no longer available on its website at the time of the report.

The article says Bokitta’s Instagram account shared an image showing a paraglider and bulldozer in front of a Palestinian flag, while co-founder Hala Absi called Israelis “oppressors” in a post on the day of the attack. John Lewis said it was unaware of the comments and was investigating; Bokitta said the image was not created by the company and had been shared without sufficient scrutiny. The retailer had reportedly sold Bokitta clothing for at least three years.
