S.R. Butcher Shops is suing Super-Spice for 5.6 million shekels (approximately $1.5 million USD) over unpaid meat supplied for sale to merchants in the Gaza Strip. The sales, which are state-approved and security-cleared, were filed in the Jerusalem District Court.
According to the lawsuit, Super-Spice purchased tens of millions of shekels worth of goods from the Shfaram-based butcher shop between May and September of this year. These supplies were intended for two Gazan merchants, Mustafa Muhammad Eid and Mohannad Abu Halud.
The lawsuit details that Super-Spice operated under a license from the Tax and Customs Authority, acting as an intermediary. Gazan merchants would place orders directly with S.R. Butcher Shops, which would then inform Super-Spice of the order details and delivery dates. Super-Spice would then purchase the meat, inspect it at its logistics warehouse in Kibbutz Dekel, and transfer it to the Gazan merchants through the official Kerem Shalom crossing. Super-Spice was responsible for collecting payment from the Gazan merchants, adding its own inspection and logistics fees, and then paying S.R. Butcher Shops.
S.R. Butcher Shops claims that Super-Spice collected the full payment from the Gazan merchants for the meat but failed to pay the butcher shop. Super-Spice reportedly rejected these claims last week and promised a detailed response, which has not yet been provided. The lawsuit was filed by attorney Ofer Revkin, and a defense has not yet been submitted.
