Human Rights Organizations Urge Microsoft to Halt Business with Israeli Government
October 11, 2025 - 18:54
Multiple human rights organizations issued a formal letter to Microsoft on Friday, calling for the company to suspend its business dealings with the Israeli military and government. The letter alleges that Microsoft's technology is being used to facilitate human rights violations against Palestinians.
The groups argue that the software and services provided by Microsoft are integral to the operations of the Israeli military, which they claim contributes to the ongoing oppression of Palestinian people. They emphasize that the company’s continued partnership with the Israeli government undermines its stated commitment to human rights and ethical business practices.
In light of these allegations, the organizations are urging Microsoft to reassess its relationships and take a stand against the actions of the Israeli government. The call to action reflects a growing trend among corporations to evaluate their involvement in regions where human rights issues are prevalent. The outcome of this appeal could have significant implications for Microsoft's future operations in the region.
