Middle East Eye reported that Microsoft signed a $125 million contract with Israel during the first year of the Gaza war. The tech giant did not confirm what services were provided to the Israeli Defence Ministry under the agreement, leaving the contract's scope largely opaque.
The undisclosed nature of the deal has drawn attention to the company's business relationships with Israeli military and defence institutions. Microsoft has not publicly detailed the specific services covered under the contract, which was inked as fighting intensified across Gaza following October 2023.
