| 2023-12-31 |
| [IsraelNationalNews] McDonald's Malaysia has sued the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement for "false and defamatory statements" that it says hurt its business and is seeking damages amounting to $1.31 million, Reuters reported Saturday. Gerbang Alaf Restaurants, which is the licensee of McDonald's in Malaysia, said it is suing the BDS Malaysia movement for a series of social media postings allegedly linking the fast-food franchise, among other companies, to Israel's "genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza". According to a writ of summons dated December 19 and seen by Reuters, Gerbang Alaf Restaurants alleged that BDS Malaysia incited the public to boycott McDonald's Malaysia, which led to a loss of profit and job cuts, among other damages, due to closures and shortened operating hours of its outlets.
