A new app called 'Gzara' is gaining popularity in the West Bank, particularly among soldiers, offering food and consumer goods delivery at the tap of a button. The app was inspired by its founder, Gabriel, a resident of Kiryat Arba, who experienced frustration when he and friends couldn't order delivery while traveling in northern Israel. Launched about two months ago, 'Gzara' has already surprised Gabriel with its user numbers.
This development comes amidst a proposed class-action lawsuit against the major delivery company Wolt, which faces allegations of discrimination for not operating beyond the Green Line in the West Bank. Wolt has countered that the lawsuit is driven by a business competitor making false claims.
Gabriel stated that the West Bank is an integral part of Israel and that he is in negotiations with large companies for delivery and transportation services. Similar to other delivery platforms, 'Gzara's' couriers can juggle multiple jobs, but they report a sense of added purpose when delivering hot meals to military outposts in the region.
