    • Abstract:
      The Starbucks operator in the Middle East and North Africa, Alshaya Group, has cut thousands of jobs due to tough economic conditions and calls to boycott the coffee chain over its response to the Israel-Hamas war. The company confirmed that it eliminated 2,000 jobs, reducing its regional Starbucks workforce by around 20%. The boycott movement has gained momentum since the war began, with customers accusing Starbucks of not doing enough to pressure Israel to end its offensive in Gaza. Starbucks has emphasized its political neutrality but continues to face backlash and calls for boycotts. [Extracted from the article]
