Israel risks French ire with ban on foie gras
It may be a much-loved delicacy in France but Israel looks set to become a foie gras free country after lawmakers adopted a bill banning the importation and sale of livers of animals that have been “tortured”.
Foie gras, a traditional type of French delicacy made from the livers of force-fed ducks or geese is not such a delicacy in Israel, it would seem.
The Knesset, the legislative branch of the Israeli government has now adopted a law “banning the importation and the selling of the livers of animals which have been tortured”.
In other words, according to France's Le point news site, it means a ban on bringing foie gras into the country with the aim of selling it.
