An investigation by The Guardian, Israeli-Palestinian +972 Magazine, and Hebrew-language outlet Local Call has sought to lay out the specific relationship between tech giant Microsoft and the Israeli military, which has faced international condemnation over its ongoing assault on Gaza, which has killed over 60,000 people, including thousands of children.
In April and May, Microsoft employees staged public protests over the company's supply of Azure Cloud services to the Israeli military. The BDS movement has called for a boycott of Xbox, Game Pass, and Microsoft-published games to pressure the company to end its relationship with the Israeli military. It wasn't entirely clear, however, what specific role Microsoft's services were playing, and in July, a group of 60 shareholders called on the company to explain itself.
