Alon Haimovich, the general manager of Microsoft's Israeli subsidiary, is resigning following an inquiry into the company's business interactions with the Israeli military. The inquiry was initiated after a Guardian investigation revealed that the military utilized Microsoft's Azure cloud platform to operate a surveillance system that collected Palestinian civilian phone calls extensively. The investigation, which involved collaboration with the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and Local Call, found that Unit 8200, the Israeli military's elite intelligence agency, had stored a vast amount of intercepted communications on Microsoft's technology. Microsoft concluded that Unit 8200 had violated its terms of service, leading to the termination of the unit's access to cloud services. Concerns about transparency and ethical practices among Microsoft Israel employees were also raised during the inquiry. Haimovich's departure comes amid broader scrutiny of Microsoft's operations in Israel, with reports indicating that other managers have also left their positions. In an email to staff, Haimovich noted his efforts in establishing Israel as a significant market for Microsoft, although he did not comment on his resignation.
