As reported by Globes, Microsoft has ousted Alon Haimovich, the general manager of its Israeli subsidiary, as well as other managers from the division, following an internal investigation. The decision is further fallout from a 2025 report from The Guardian and +972 Magazine on Israel’s use of Microsoft Azure cloud services to store data intercepted in the illegally occupied West Bank.
According to Globes, a Microsoft investigative team began work last month over concerns that the Israeli subsidiary was exposing the company to legal liability in Europe. The Azure servers used by the Israeli government to store surveillance data were based in Europe, potentially putting Microsoft at risk from scrutiny by EU regulators.
