Since we last reported the
Orange CEO's rapid about-turn, the grovelling CEO has arrived in Israel, where he fawned and pandered unabashedly.
Algemeiner reports:
Meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday,
Richard said, “I regret deeply this controversy and I want to make
totally clear that Orange as a company has never supported and will
never support any kind of boycott against Israel.”
“We are doing business, we are doing communication, we are here to
connect people, certainly not to participate in any kind of boycott,” he
said. “Israel is a fantastic place to be in the digital industry and of
course our will is to strengthen and to keep on investing here.”

In other news, the
Washington Post exposed that the Orange communications company is doing business in two occupied territories that were, somehow, left unmentioned when Richard took his 3-minute-long principled stand against Israel: Ngorna-Karabakh (occupied by Armenia) and Western Sahara (occupied by Morocco). Add hypocrisy and bigotry to the CEO's momentary lapse of judgement.
