McDonald's Malaysia drops suit against the Israel Boycott Foundation. Lion Horn, the McDonald's franchisee in Malaysia, said it had received clarifications from BDS regarding the statements made through conversations with a court-appointed mediator.
Horn's company was seeking damages estimated at more than $1.2 million. Earlier, pictures and videos appeared on social media of McDonald's distributing free meals to Israeli soldiers believed to be fighting in the Gaza Strip. McDonald's International lost billions of dollars in value following its financial director's announcement this month.
