The French telecom giant Orange says it will pull out of a deal with an Israeli partner. The announcement comes a day after comments by its boss drew criticism from Israel.
On Wednesday, Orange CEO Stephane Richard said he would back out of a deal with Partner Communications.
Campaign groups say Partner is active in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli officials attacked the comments, and said Mr Richard should be fired.
Partner controls close to 28% of Israel's mobile market and while Orange has a licensing deal with Partner, it does not have a controlling stake in the company.
