Amidst the controversy surrounding Scarlett Johansson's role in the SodaStream commercials airing in Israel, the actress has quit her role as an Oxfam ambassador. 

According to Perez Hilton, SodaStream -- which operates in the West Bank -- is fundamentally problematic for Oxfam and, as an end result, Johansson is no longer affiliated with them. Oxfam confirmed the split in a statement: "While Oxfam respects the independence of our ambassadors, Ms. Johansson's role promoting the company SodaStream is incompatible with her role as an Oxfam Global Ambassador. Oxfam believes that businesses, such as SodaStream, that operate in settlements further the ongoing poverty and denial of rights of the Palestinian communities that we work to support. 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." 

Meanwhile, according to E! News, Johansson defends her position as SodaStream's global ambassador, because she feels as though it promotes "relationships between a democratic Israel and Palestine." Her publicist has released a statement that Johansson has "respectfully decided to end her ambassador role with Oxfam after eight years. She and Oxfam have a fundamental difference of opinion in regards to the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. She is very proud of her accomplishments and fundraising efforts during her tenure with Oxfam." 

Previously, the Don John actress denied wanting to be a part of a "social or political" movement -- at the end of the day, she was just trying to make some money off of a commercial. (This is completely believable... Johannson has never publicly taken a political stance before...so why would now be any different?)
