McDonald’s chief says anti-Israel boycotts hurting sales

“Misinformation” about McDonald’s support for Israel is having a “meaningful impact” on its sales in the Middle East, the fast food restaurant’s chief executive has said.

Chris Kempczinski said calls from pro-Palestinan groups to boycott McDonald’s over the Gaza conflict were harming operations.

McDonald’s has been targeted by pro-Palestinan campaigners after photos and videos on social media showed franchised stores in Israel giving free meals to the nation’s soldiers following the October 7 Hamas attack.
