Pizza Hut fires Israeli PR firm over prison hunger strike ad

None

Pizza Hut has apologized and fired an advertising firm responsible for an Israeli Facebook ad that mocked the leader of a mass Palestinian hunger strike.

 

The ad on Pizza Hut Israel's Facebook page was deleted, and the parent company said in a statement that the post was "completely inappropriate."

 

The ad attempted to make light of Marwan Barghouti, the imprisoned leader of the 24-day-old hunger strike.
