Sportswear giant Puma has announced its decision to terminate its sponsorship deal with Israel’s national soccer team.

The move comes amidst growing controversy surrounding Puma’s involvement with the team, which has faced criticism for its participation in matches held in Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Puma had been the official kit sponsor for the Israel national football team since 2018, but pressure from activists and human rights organisations has been mounting. Critics argue that by sponsoring the team, Puma indirectly supports the Israeli government’s policies in the West Bank, which have been widely condemned as a violation of international law.

The decision to end the sponsorship deal was confirmed in a statement released by Puma’s spokesperson, who cited the company’s commitment to social responsibility and human rights as a driving factor. The move has been hailed as a victory by pro-Palestinian activists who have been calling for a boycott of Puma products.

The termination of the sponsorship raises questions about the role of corporate entities in international politics and human rights issues. It also highlights the growing influence of social justice movements on corporate decision-making.

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
