Watan-Businessman and former officer in the Egyptian Air Force, Sherif Osman, tweeted on his account on the platform (X), confirming that “Ahmad Tea” is imported from the Emirates by Egyptian companies to supply it to Israel, calling on Egyptians to boycott it due to its support for the brutal war in Gaza.
Sherif wrote in a tweet on the X platform: “Ahmad Tea from the UAE is imported by Egyptian companies to supply it to Israel… Boycott Ahmad Tea, a supporter of Israel in its war on Gaza.”
Egyptian companies export products imported from the Emirates to the occupation. Osman shared a picture of the tea, with what appeared to be information in Hebrew in the background, indicating the possibility that the tea is indeed going to support the occupation, which continues to commit ongoing crimes in Gaza, in addition to its suffocating siege, causing its inhabitants to suffer the worst famine and humanitarian disaster in modern times.

Information in the image indicates that the tea is indeed imported from the Emirates through Egyptian companies, and the notation in Hebrew confirms that it is exported to the occupying state.
Sherif Osman also tweeted another warning against a number of Egyptian brands that support the occupation in its massacre in Gaza, calling on his followers to boycott them in support of the Palestinians.

Boycotting Emirati products
Social media users have long launched widespread Arab popular campaigns calling for “boycotting the UAE,” the Gulf state that normalizes with Israel, in response to its shameful stance towards what is happening in Gaza and its positions on the Palestinian issue in general.
These campaigns calling for boycotting the UAE and its products evolved after the open bias of representatives of the Gulf state in the Security Council, including “Reem Al Hashimi” and “Lana Zaki Nusseibeh,” along with the Israeli entity, in addition to provocative statements by Emirati officials towards Arab and Islamic peoples, and the economic relations between the Israeli entity and the UAE, which were formalized with the occupation in 2020 under American sponsorship.
