Israeli coffee shop in Arab country?

At a hospital in Jeddah, they ran out of paper cups. They got a new package from the supply room. To their dismay, the cups had Hebrew lettering on it.

They did not know it, but those Hebrew letters spell "Aroma" which is a very popular coffee shop chain in Israel.

"“We were shocked and angry,” said an employee. “How can Israeli products be allowed and how did they enter this hospital?” he asked."

  1. “We were shocked and angry,” said an employee. “How can Israeli products be allowed and how did they enter this hospital?” he asked.

    It's sad, but rather than simply use the cups, that quote summarizes the attitude of the Arab world.
