US clothing chain GAP to close its Israel stores

American clothing chain GAP is closing its seven stores in Israel due to poor sales, the Hebrew-language media reports.

Israeli company Gottex, which owns the GAP trademark in the country, says it will try to absorb workers from the stores “in other areas of the corporation.”

There are GAP stores in locations across Israel, including Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Herzliya and Beit Shemesh.
