"Taking into consideration the International Court of Justice's order on January 26, and that the Japanese government supports the role of the Court, we have already suspended new activities related to the MOU, and plan to end the MOU by the end of February," he said.

This comes after multiple protests in Japan calling for the company to end relationships with the Israeli company. This comes after logistics giant Kuehne + Nagel out of Germany also ended their relationship with Elbit last week.
