Microsoft halts supply of services to the Israeli Ministry of Defense: the reason is surveillance

Microsoft has ceased cooperation with the Israeli Ministry of Defense due to the discovered use of cloud technologies for surveillance of Palestinians. The company's president stated that Israeli military forces were using their services to process data from Palestinian phone calls. This marks the first instance of restricted cooperation between a major American IT company and Israel since the beginning of the conflict in Gaza. According to information, Israel was gathering massive amounts of data on Palestinian phone conversations and using this information for its military operations. The Israeli Ministry of Defense has not yet commented on the situation but has already begun transferring data to other cloud platforms. The special representative of the U.S. president announced a peace plan to resolve the conflict between Israel and Hamas. This news shows that technology companies are becoming increasingly cautious about their involvement in controversial situations and may suspend cooperation if they violate the company's principles. Microsoft's disconnection from the Israeli Ministry of Defense serves as a signal for other companies and countries to more closely monitor the use of technologies for military purposes.
