London - British department store group Selfridges, bowing to pressure from Palestinian campaigners, said yesterday it had withdrawn four products made in the West Bank and Golan Heights which were labelled "Made in Israel".

"Selfridges has taken the decision to withdraw the four products during the Christmas season in order to minimise disruption to our customers caused by leafleting and picketing outside our store," the company said in a statement.
