A systematic literature review was conducted using databases such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, ScienceDirect, and open-access journals to explore the interplay between these constructs. The findings reveal that Perceived Value and Word of Mouth significantly impact Purchase Intention through Purchase Attitude as a mediator. This highlights the critical role of managing consumer perceptions, especially amidst sensitive socio-political controversies. However, a limitation of this study is the lack of public awareness about McDonald’s alleged Palestine Washing, which may affect the validity of responses.

By examining marketing dynamics amid political challenges, this study offers a distinct perspective on how global brands can cultivate consumer trust and loyalty in contentious environments.
