Microsoft launches probe into claims that Israel used its Azure cloud services to spy on Palestinians

Microsoft launched an ‘urgent’ investigation to the claims that the Israeli army used the company’s technology to facilitate mass surveillance on the Palestinians.

According to a report of Guardian, the Microsoft investigation comes after the previous report that the news organization was used by the Azure Cloud platform led by Satya Nadella by the Israeli unit of the Azure Cloud platform 8200 Spying Agency to store a wide collection of daily Palestinian mobile phone calls.

Microsoft said in a statement, “Gaza and West Bank’s large or mass surveillance of the phone calls obtained through large or mass supervision to store data files to storage Azure” will be banned according to the service conditions, he said.

The investigation is supervised by lawyers in the US company Covengon & Burlin.

Microsoft, using its technology, launched an external investigation against the Israeli army for a second time.

The first investigation was appointed earlier this year to examine the allegations that the Israeli army on Gaza’s attacks on Gaza used Microsoft’s technology. In May, the company said that the Israeli army did not comply with the service conditions or that it did not use Azure to “target or harm people” in Gaza.

However, Guardian’s latest report sent shock waves as to whether some Israeli -based employees have reversed the unit of 8200 Azure among senior Microsoft employees.

What are the charges against Microsoft?

According to Guardian’s joint investigation of the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 magazine and Hebrew Outlet Local Call, Israel’s 8200 units of Israel were customized and separated from Azure, and millions of calls in gas and the West Bank were recorded daily.

Since the report, Guardian said Microsoft, which data unit has been trying to evaluate the 8200 warehouses in Azure.

According to figures from the Ministry of Health in Gaza, which was ruled by Hamas, which the United Nations thought was reliable, Israel’s attack killed more than 61,000 Palestinians.

The Israeli government’s plans to expand the war led to an international scream and internal opposition.
