McDonald’s wins Ben Gurion tender despite boycott calls by settler leaders
McDonald’s Israel wins a tender to operate two restaurants at Ben Gurion Airport for the next seven years, the airport announces in a statement.
The NIS 17 million bid was 5 million to 6 million shekels more than those offered by its competitors Burger Ranch and Burger King.
McDonald’s wins the bid despite boycott calls by settler leaders who launched a campaign against the hamburger chain for refusing to open branches in the West Bank.
