Serious harm, and highly vulnerable to pressure. Start here.
Carrefour (recently updated)
French supermarket group that owns no shops in Israel but licenses its name there to Global Retail C.I. Ltd, formerly Carrefour Israel and Yenot Bitan. Two shops inside Israeli settlements traded under Carrefour banners in March 2026 (a Carrefour Market in Neve Ya'akov in occupied East Jerusalem and a Carrefour City in Maccabim), and six more run by the same licensee trade in settlements under other names. Consumer boycotts have driven the Carrefour brand out of Jordan, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait.

McDonald's (recently updated)
Global fast-food chain. In November 2023 McDonald's Corporation said its Israeli licensee had given free meals to Israeli soldiers 'independently without McDonald's consent or approval'; on 2 July 2024 it completed the purchase of that licensee, Alonyal Limited, and has owned and run the Israeli restaurants directly ever since. It programmed twelve more branches for 2025, taking the network to 233, and has been searching for a new Israeli operator since mid-2025 without finding one.

SodaStream International Ltd. (recently updated)
SodaStream makes home machines that carbonate tap water. Its main plant stood inside the Ma'ale Adumim settlement in the occupied West Bank from 1997 until it closed in 2015, when production moved to Lehavim in the Naqab and around 470 Palestinians lost their jobs. PepsiCo has owned the company since December 2018, and the Palestinian-led boycott movement still calls for a boycott of the brand, now on the ground of the Naqab plant and the treatment of Palestinian workers.
