"Boycotts Impact US Brands Amid Middle East Conflict"
TL;DR Summary
US brands like McDonald's, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, and Domino's are facing sales declines and boycotts in the Middle East and other parts of the world due to perceived support for Israel during the war on Gaza. McDonald's missed sales targets after its Israel branch gave free meals to Israeli troops, leading to boycott calls and sales growth of only 0.7 percent in the Middle East, China, and India. Starbucks saw a slump in sales in the Middle East and the US, while Coca-Cola faced boycotts and a 22 percent sales drop in Turkey. Domino's experienced a sales dip in Asia, particularly in Malaysia, due to its association with the US, an Israeli ally.
