The company stated that no concrete evidence has been found proving that the Israeli military used Microsoft’s Azure cloud services or artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to harm Palestinian civilians or anyone else in the Gaza Strip.

The official statement came after Microsoft conducted both internal and external reviews in response to pressure and protests from current and former employees.

“Microsoft works with countries and customers around the world, including the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD). Microsoft provides IMOD with software, professional services, Azure cloud services, and Azure AI services, including language translation. As with many governments around the world, we also work with the Israeli government to protect its national cyberspace against external threats,” the official statement said.

Notably, two former employees publicly protested during Microsoft’s 50th anniversary celebrations, claiming the company used its technologies to support the genocide in Gaza.
