McDonald's CEO says Israel-Hamas war is having a "meaningful" impact on its business

Image
[ad_1] McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski said the restaurant chain is seeing a "meaningful business impact" in the Middle East and elsewhere related to the Israel-Hamas war . In a letter posted to LinkedIn, the executive said Thursday that "misinformation" related to the conflict has affected several of McDonald's markets across the world. Companies including McDonald's and Starbucks have faced boycott campaigns from both pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel groups over their perceived support for one side or the other following Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel . "This is disheartening and ill-founded," Kempczinski said in the letter.  Kempczinski didn't disclose how much the conflict has hurt sales. McDonald's is expected to report its earnings later this month, which could reveal more about the effect of the conflict on its operations.  McDonald's did not immediately respond to

[ad_1] The trial over a 2016 ski accident involving Gwyneth Paltrow is expected to wrap up Thursday, with attorneys presenting their closing arguments ahead of sending the case to the jury for deliberations. Beyond the spectacle of watching the Oscar-winning actress and businesswoman recount the incident, the decision could set a legal precedent affecting millions of skiers and snowboarders: Who is liable when collisions occur on the slopes? Terry Sanderson, 76, sued Paltrow for $3.1 million after alleging that she crashed into him at the tony Deer Valley resort in Park City, Utah. After a judge dismissed his initial suit, he later refiled his complaint seeking more than $300,000. Paltrow, 50, countersued for a symbolic $1 and attorney fees. In each taking the stand last week, Paltrow and Sanderson presented starkly different accounts of the collision and called a succession of medical experts and witnesses to buttress their claims. Paltrow's ski instructor at the tim
