Businessman Assaf Rappaport and his Wiz co-founders are nearing a deal to acquire the franchise for McDonald's Israel, managing around 230 branches with 1.8 billion shekels in annual revenue. This follows McDonald's global repurchase of the Israeli operations in April 2024 amid boycotts. Rappaport's group, despite no prior food industry experience, emerged as the sole candidate after competing with other major Israeli business entities. The move signifies a major expansion for the founders beyond their tech ventures.

Avi Nesher's 'Our Loves' Transforms October 7 Tragedy Into Immersive Cinema

Director Avi Nesher's new film, 'Our Loves,' premiered in Israel, focusing on fictional characters whose lives intersect with the October 7 massacre. The movie builds suspense by first immersing viewers in the characters' personal dramas on October 6, before the attack unfolds. It has been praised for its cinematic approach, acting, and music, though it faced international criticism for not depicting the terrorists' perspective. The film aims to explore the human element of tragedy and love amidst extraordinary circumstances.
