Burger King

🚨 Reasons for Boycotting Burger King

Burger King is a global fast-food chain owned by Restaurant Brands International (RBI). While the parent company has no direct israeli incorporation, its operations in israil are run through a local franchise tied to entities directly involved in supporting the israeli war machine and occupation.

1. Franchise Controlled by Delek israel: Since January 2022, Delek israel Fuel Company Ltd. has been the majority owner (reported as either a 70% or 93% stake) of the Burger King israel franchise. Who Profits categorizes Delek israel as a "Settlement Enterprise" due to its fuel station network serving illegal settlements across the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the occupied Golan Heights.
2. $566 Million Military Contract with the israeli Ministry of Defense: Delek israel holds a fuel-refueling contract with the israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD) reported at approximately $566 million (2020–2023), which was extended and expanded through 2024–2025. This contract makes the effective owner of the Burger King israel franchise a direct partner in funding and sustaining the israeli military.
3. Free Meals to Occupation Soldiers: In October 2023, following the assault on Gaza, Burger King israel posted photos on its official accounts showing free meals being provided to israeli soldiers. The company also distributed approximately $128,000 in meal vouchers exclusively to active-duty and reservist IDF combat soldiers under an April 2025 court-approved settlement.
4. 1999 Precedent: Branch in Ma'ale Adumim Settlement: In August 1999, a previous israeli franchisee (Rikamor Ltd.) opened a Burger King outlet in the Ma'ale Adumim settlement in the occupied West Bank. This sparked a global boycott campaign, and Burger King Corp. in Miami ordered the brand removed from the branch after claiming it had been misled about the location.
5. Complicity Through Silence and Profit: Although the parent company (RBI) has issued no official statement supporting the occupation, its continued franchising to Delek israel - a known military supplier - and its collection of royalties from these operations make it financially complicit in the continuation of the occupation and the crimes committed against the Palestinian people.
