Protesters, including current and former employees, occupied the office of Microsoft's president in Redmond, Washington, leading to seven arrests as they demanded the company end its ties with Israel and compensate Palestinians. The demonstration follows ongoing criticism of Microsoft's Azure cloud platform, which has reportedly been used by Israeli defense forces for surveillance and intelligence processing in Gaza and the West Bank. Microsoft has stated it is reviewing allegations and has hired an outside law firm to investigate claims that its technology facilitated attacks on Palestinian targets, emphasizing its commitment to upholding human rights principles and contractual standards. Previous protests at Microsoft headquarters have resulted in multiple arrests and firings, highlighting the sustained pressure on the company to reconsider its partnerships and technology use in conflict zones.
