Scarlett Johansson resigned from her position as the ambassador of Oxfam after the non-profit organization objected to her promoting SodaStream.

Oxfam issued a report revealing they have accepted Johansson's decision to step down as a Global Ambassador of the company after holding the position for eight year. According to the report, while the company is grateful for the services of the actress, they don't encourage promoting "businesses, such as SodaStream, that operate in settlements that further the ongoing poverty and denial of rights of the Palestinian communities that we work to support."

SodaStream's main plant is in a West Bank settlement where 350,000 Jewish settlers live. A large part of the international community considers products made in the Jewish settlements illegal.

"Oxfam is opposed to all trade from Israeli settlements, which are illegal under international law. Ms. Johansson has worked with Oxfam since 2005 and in 2007 became a Global Ambassador, helping to highlight the impact of natural disasters and raise funds to save lives and fight poverty," the report read.

This is not the first time Oxfam cut ties with a star for promoting a company in a West Bank settlement. In 2009, they had a rift with Kristin Davis over her endorsement of products from the skin-care company Ahava, which has a factory in the West Bank. However, both parties seem to have worked out their difference as Davis is now listed as an ambassador on the Oxfam Website.

SodaStream is a Tel Aviv-based company that makes home soda machines and has its main plant in an Israeli industrial park next to the West Bank settlement of Maaleh Adumim. Johansson stepped into this controversy when she agreed to feature in an ad that will air during the Super Bowl.

The ad has the Hollywood Star saying "If only I could make this message go viral." She then takes off her robe, revealing a black dress, and drinks sultrily from a straw. Whether or not the ad went viral is yet to be determined, but her decision to part ways with Oxfam definitely has!

SodaStream chief executive Dan Birnbaum revealed to the Associate Press that the recent controversy hasn't disrupted the company's image and doesn't think they have lost even a single customer. He said that he wasn't willing to "sacrifice" the jobs of 500 Palestinians who work in the SodaStream factory "for some political cause" of activist groups.
