Leaked documents reveal Microsoft’s Azure cloud was used by Israel’s Unit 8200 for mass surveillance on Palestinians, recording millions of calls from Gaza and the West Bank. The data was used for arrests, blackmail, and targeted killings.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella approved the deal in 2022 after meeting with Unit 8200’s commander in Seattle. He called the project “critical,” aiming to move 70% of Israeli intelligence to Azure.
