Google reportedly worked with the Israeli military following its October 2023 ground invasion of Gaza, despite publicly denying collaboration on military projects. Documents reveal Google employees assisted the IDF with AI services to compete with Amazon for Israel’s cloud computing needs. This occurred under Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion cloud contract with Israel. Meanwhile, Google disciplined employees protesting the project, firing 28 workers who staged sit-ins. Google continues to state that the Nimbus contract is strictly for civilian government use and does not support military operations.
