Google has restored the "No Thanks" app, designed to assist users in identifying and possibly boycotting products associated with the Israeli entity.

The app, initially launched last month amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza, was removed but has now been made available on Google's Play Store again.

As of October 7, the Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip reported that approximately 16,000 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli occupation's relentless attacks, with an additional 42,000 people sustaining injuries.

Ahmad Bashbash, a Palestinian developer based in Hungary, has created the "No Thanks" app. He hails from Gaza and has tragically lost siblings due to the brutal Israeli aggression on the strip.

"I made it (the app) on behalf of my brother and my sister who I lost because of this brutal occupation, and my goal is to try to prevent what happened to me from happening to another Palestinian," he said as quoted by German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.

The "No Thanks" app enables users to scan product barcodes and receive notifications if the items are produced by companies linked to "Israel". The app was removed from the Play Store on November 30 due to its description, which stated, "Welcome to No Thanks, here you can see if the product in your hand supports killing children in Palestine or not."

Prior to its removal, the app had been downloaded more than 100,000 times. The updated version's description now states, "Our app simplifies the process of scanning barcodes and searching for products that are listed for the boycott movement."

Additionally, a version tailored for Apple devices has been created and is presently undergoing review.
