PROMAX sealing tape from Israel
Golf & Co CEO Eyal Greenberg, told Ynet that it's possible that these goods are excess inventory that was sold to traders in the West Bank and somehow made their way to other countries in the region. Many brands prefer not to flood the market with excess inventory to maintain their brand's exclusivity, and companies often sell excess goods to traders in other countries, including the West Bank.
