Google employees based in the United States have staged protests at the tech giant’s offices in New York City, California and Seattle to oppose a $1.2bn contract with the Israeli government.
Known as Project Nimbus, the joint contract between Google and Amazon signed in 2021 aims to provide cloud computing infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI) and other technology services to the Israeli government and its military, which has faced condemnation for its war on Gaza, described by United Nations experts and several countries as a “genocide”.
