He added that, “without a question or a doubt, part of Israeli food is Palestinian influenced.”
The coalition cast the Solomonov boycott against the humanitarian crisis in Gaza — with famine facing millions of Palestinians in the blockaded and war-torn coastal strip. Their blacklist of CookNSolo enterprises includes Zahav, Goldie, Laser Wolf, Dizengoff, K’Far, the upcoming Jaffa Bar, and the Federal Donuts and Chicken franchise, as well as cookbooks, the Whole Foods-distributed Zahav Foods, and restaurants in other cities including New York and Miami.

Protesters said they targeted the restaurant over a CookNSolo fundraiser that raised $100,000 for the Friends of United Hatzalah, an Israeli nonprofit and volunteer EMS organization that also provided aide to Israeli Defense Forces soldiers.
