According to McDonald's, higher sales in the
United States helped the fast-food giant overcome
weakness in markets where the brand is being boycotted.
The company saw same-store sales rise by
1.9% worldwide between January and March,
below the Wall Street forecast of 2.1%.
Increased menu pricing and delivery demand
saw same-store sales in the U.S. increase by 2.5%.
In international markets, sales fell
by 0.2% for the first time since 2020.
Despite this, McDonald's said the company's revenue
increased 5% to reach $6.17 billion, while net income went
up 7% to $1.93 billion, in-line with Wall Street estimates.
'The Independent' reports that Muslim-majority
markets like Indonesia, Malaysia and the Middle East
have been boycotting McDonald's for months.
The boycotts started after a McDonald's franchise in
Israel announced in October that it would provide free
meals for Israeli troops amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
In the months since then, the company has tried to limit
the fallout by taking over all 225 McDonald's in the country
with the purchase of Alyonal Limited, its Israeli franchise.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian announced that the crew of a Portuguese-flagged ship, allegedly linked to Israel and including Indian nationals, has been granted consular access and is expected to be released. This information, reported by Reuters citing Iranian media, sheds light on the situation surrounding the container vessel MSC Aries, which had a crew of 25 members, including 17 Indians. Notably, one of the Indian crew members, Ann Tessa Joseph, was released and returned home on April 18. The seizure of MSC Aries by Iran's Revolutionary Guards occurred in the Strait of Hormuz on April 13, shortly after Tehran declared its intent to retaliate for a suspected Israeli strike on its consulate in Damascus.

France's foreign minister announced plans to engage in discussions with Lebanese officials on Sunday to address tensions between Hezbollah and Israel and prevent potential conflict. Earlier this year, Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne proposed a plan that involves Hezbollah pulling back 10 km from the Israeli border while Israel halts strikes in southern Lebanon. This proposal, discussed with partners including the U.S., aims to maintain momentum amid Israeli threats of military action in southern Lebanon. Tensions have escalated, particularly following Iran's missile strikes on Israel in response to events in Syria, leading to increased exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah.
