          BY ITS CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER AND AN OFFICER AND DIRECTOR,
        AND PLANS TO ISSUE A 1:1 STOCK DIVIDEND TO FURTHER INCREASE THE
                         NUMBER OF PUBLICLY HELD SHARES

YAVNE, ISRAEL - NOVEMBER 22, 2004 - G. WILLI-FOOD INTERNATIONAL LTD. (NASDAQ:
WILCF) (the "Company") announced that on November 21, 2004, the Company's board
of directors approved a plan to achieve compliance with the continued listing
requirements of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(5) requiring that at least
500,000 of its ordinary shares be publicly held (the "Rule"). Pursuant to the
plan, on November 22, 2004, the Company's controlling shareholder, Willifood
Investments Ltd., and Joseph Williger, an officer and director of the Company,
sold an aggregate of 75,000 ordinary shares. As a result of the sale, the
Company believes that it is in compliance with the Rule. In addition, the board
of directors approved a one for one stock dividend of the Company's ordinary
shares to further increase the Company's number of publicly held shares to more
than 1,000,000 shares. The record date for the stock dividend is December 8,
2004 and the stock dividend will be paid on December 22, 2004.

"As part of our plan to expand our business in the U.S., we are committed to our
shareholders and to increasing the float of WILCF shares" said Mr. Zvi Williger,
President and COO of the Company.

If the Company fails in the future to comply with the 500,000 publicly held
shares requirement or any other requirement for the continued listing of the
ordinary shares on The Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the Company could be delisted
from The Nasdaq Small Cap Market.
