In a shocking move that has ignited a World firestorm, McDonald’s Israel announced its decision to deliver thousands of free meals to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and citizens amidst the continuing conflict with Hamas.
The shocking gesture, made in response to Hamas’ recent shocking attack, has raised both support and condemnation from around the world.
#BoycottMcDonalds, the hashtag, quickly acquired momentum on social media platforms X, formerly known as Twitter, after the official McDonald’s Israel account expressed solidarity with the IDF.
McDonald’s Israel, despite the controversy, stands by its commitment to assist during this difficult time. Through their official Instagram account, the company announced that they have been donating “tens of thousands of meals” to different groups, including IDF units, the police, hospitals, residents near the battle zone, and other rescue forces. Furthermore, they have been offering a 50% discount to troopers and security forces who visit their branches.
The company disclosed its outstanding efforts, including the establishment of five restaurants committed solely to assisting and donations for security forces, with plans to provide 4,000 meals daily.
Their current announcement showed that they have already donated 12,000 meals to the IDF and Israeli residents in the vicinity, showcasing photos of cars loaded with McDonald’s meals and soldiers and hospital workers receiving these packages.
