Microsoft Fires Head of Israel Office Amid Probe and BDS Boycott Targeting Xbox

Microsoft removed its Israel general manager amid an internal probe into allegations its technology may have been used to monitor Palestinians.

The Israel office is now being overseen through Microsoft France as the company reviews the claims.

The case adds to scrutiny of Big Tech’s role in military surveillance and the legal and reputational risks tied to the Gaza war.

Microsoft and Xbox are still facing boycott pressure from activists and campaigns including BDS and No Games For Genocide.
