The Big Mac index compares the price of the same hamburger in different countries. It helps to see where prices are higher and where money is worth more.

Israel's high ranking is related to high food prices and the strengthening of the shekel against the dollar. Therefore, when converting the Big Mac's price to dollars, it appears particularly expensive.
