What should we understand from this?

More than 80 percent of McDonald’s restaurants around the world are operated through the franchising system. For this reason, McDonald’s branches in our country trade under the license offered by the parent company, but they are not responsible for decision-making. It is not attached to the roof. Branches in our country are also establishing their own business plans in this context. McDonald’s in Israel likewise makes its own decisions.

That’s why we shouldn’t evaluate these two opposing decisions as if they came from the same roof. McDonald’s Turkey’s decision to help the people of Gaza and McDonald’s Israel’s decision to help soldiers have nothing to do with the McDonald’s umbrella company. What’s between them is just license agreement. Apart from that, the branches of these two countries are also responsible for their own actions.
