Starbucks Middle East franchisee AlShaya is reportedly planning to cut over 2,000 jobs, according to sources familiar with the matter. This decision comes amidst the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict and the call for boycotts against companies with ties to Israel.
AlShaya, which operates Starbucks locations in the Middle East, is facing pressure from activists who are urging consumers to boycott businesses that have connections to Israel. The company's decision to reduce its workforce is seen as a response to this growing movement.
