In a note from Microsoft's vice chair and president, Brad Smith, that was shared with Microsoft employees last week, Smith said that they had "ceased and disabled a set of services" following the company's internal review of how IMOD was using its cloud platform. Microsoft then launched a review, having previously stated that it had found "no evidence to date that Microsoft’s Azure and AI technologies have been used to target or harm people in the conflict in Gaza." Smith said that Microsoft has notified the IMOD, but that this "does not impact the important work that Microsoft continues to do to protect the cybersecurity of Israel and other countries in the Middle East, including under the Abraham Accords."
