Scarlett ends Oxfam tie over Israel row

Actress Scarlett Johansson is ending her relationship with the charity Oxfam after being criticised over her support for an Israeli company operating in the West Bank.

Johansson’s spokesman said the 29-year-old actress had “a fundamental difference of opinion” with Oxfam International because the humanitarian group opposes all trade from Israeli settlements, saying they are illegal and deny Palestinian rights.
