Ikea response

IKEA is politically and religiously independent. IKEA is for the many, respecting individuals with different views and opinions. We welcome all people to the IKEA stores, independent of religion, political view, ethnic background or where they come from. IKEA operations are today carried out in 340 IKEA stores in 40 countries including Israel and a range of other markets in the Middle East…The local transport company cooperating with the Israeli IKEA franchisee has since 2010 been able to arrange for home delivery of IKEA products to people living in the areas controlled by Palestinian Authorities. If there has been occasions when the delivery service has not worked as intended it is regrettable and something we will look into.
