Kuwait joined three other Persian Gulf states in lifting a 21-year-old ban on Coca-Cola despite an Arab decision to keep the company on a blacklist for its dealing with Israel. A decree by Kuwait’s Boycott of Israel office, published in the official gazette, said the ban was lifted after the U.S.-based firm “proved its good intentions and promised not to make proscribed relations with Israel in the future.”
