The Indian company "Marian Apparel", one of the main companies that supplies the Israeli police with uniforms, announced that it had terminated its contract due to the raids on Gaza, attributing the matter to reasons "of an ethical nature."

Marian Apparel has been supplying the Israeli police with about 100,000 uniforms annually since 2015, according to its data.

Agence France-Presse quoted the company's CEO, Thomas Olekal, as saying that the decision to suspend, which was taken after a raid on a hospital in Gaza that left many dead, was "of an ethical nature."

The Israeli army and the "Hamas" movement are exchanging accusations of responsibility for the bloody attack that targeted the Al-Ahly Arab Hospital "Al-Mamadani" in Gaza City on Tuesday, which led to the death of 471 people, according to the Ministry of Health affiliated with the "Hamas" movement, which confirmed that the bombing was Israeli.

However, Israel said that the bombing was the result of a missile launched by the "Islamic Jihad" movement that deviated from its course, and Washington adopted this narrative. European and American intelligence sources have questioned the death toll announced by Hamas, indicating that it is less than that.

"We will agree to resume our business (with Israel) when peace returns," Olekal explained. He added that if this fails, his company will implement its current contract, which expires in December, but will not renew it.

Marian Apparel, which employs about 1,500 people, also deals with the Philippine army and the Saudi government.
