‘Current situation in West Asia is definitely not an excuse not to deliver at COP28’
Wednesday, 1 November 2023 The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is creating uncertainty for the upcoming UN climate conference (COP28) in the UAE. However, the visiting German state secretary of the federal ministry for economic cooperation and development, Jochen Flasbarth, believes that the conditions will not negatively impact the conference. Flasbarth stated that the world has previously shown its ability to collectively deal with challenging situations, citing the adoption of the global biodiversity framework as an example.
Oil prices surged by more than four percent on Friday following Israel's missile strikes on Iran, amplifying concerns of heightened tensions in the West Asia region. The global benchmark, Brent crude, soared to $90.54 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures spiked by 4.06 percent to $86.09. With apprehensions mounting over a potential escalation of the Gaza conflict spreading beyond Israel's borders, there are growing fears of a significant impact on the global oil supply.

Amid rising tensions in the West Asia region, Iran has conveyed a message to the US through Switzerland, cautioning that its bases could become targets if Washington supports Israel's retaliatory actions. President Joe Biden, on Saturday, praised American forces for their assistance in intercepting "nearly all" of the drones and missiles launched by Iran, pledging to coordinate an international response to Tehran's unprecedented attack. The Pentagon confirmed that its forces intercepted "dozens of missiles" and drones launched from various locations including Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, aimed at Israel.

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.
Our hearts remain with
the communities and families
impacted by the war in the Middle East.
We abhor violence of any kind and
firmly stand against hate speech,
and we will always proudly
open our doors to everyone, McDonald's statement, via 'The Indepndent'.
