An investigative report has provided further solid evidence of
Microsoft's ongoing collaboration with the Israeli regime towards
further empowerment of Tel Aviv's deadly ambitions for Palestinians.
The evidence was provided in a Wednesday report by The Guardian, which showed how the company has been quietly entangled in the regime's vast surveillance dragnet targeting Palestinians.
The bombshell investigation revealed that Unit 8200, the Israeli military's notorious cyber-intelligence arm, has been storing millions of intercepted Palestinian phone calls on Microsoft's Azure cloud servers in Europe since at least 2022.
The surveillance apparatus, which captures calls "by the million each hour," is fueled by a staggering trove of data housed primarily in the Netherlands and Ireland, the probe found.
It monitors Palestinian life in microscopic detail, from the Gaza Strip's bomb-scarred neighborhoods to every corner of the occupied West Bank, the daily showed.
One insider, meanwhile, described a rising eagerness among Israeli officials, who see this system as the bedrock of "long-term control" in Gaza as the stored data continues to inform operations, despite telecoms destruction across the Palestinian territory.
Officers sifted through intercepted calls made near bombing targets to justify airstrikes in heavily populated civilian areas.
As one insider put it, "When they need to arrest someone and there isn't a good enough reason to do so, that's where they find the excuse."
