Indonesian McDonald's franchise PT Rekso Nasional Food has donated Rp1.5 billion (US$105,000) to Palestine through the National Alms Agency (Baznas). Baznas head Noor Achmad expressed the company's commitment to humanitarian values and an initial step to help the Palestinian people. The donation was received at the Achmad Subianto Hall of the Baznas building. The company channeled humanitarian aid through established institutions like Baznas, which has a proven track record of distributing assistance from the Indonesian community to people living in conflict areas. The company's involvement in the Gaza conflict has sparked discussions on social media platforms X, with mass organizations like the United People Front (FUB) and Islam Defenders Front (FPI) calling for a boycott of perceived Israeli products and goods from Israel's allies.
