Report: Google and Amazon Violated Their Own Terms of Service in Israel’s $1.2 Billion “Project Nimbus” Deal

HeadlineOct 31, 2025

A new investigation details how the tech giants Google and Amazon violated their own terms of service in a lucrative contract with the Israeli government to provide cloud computing and AI services used during Israel’s two-year assault on the Gaza Strip. The investigation by +972 Magazine, Local Call and The Guardian finds that as part of the $1.2 billion deal known as “Project Nimbus,” Google and Amazon are obliged to secretly notify Israel if a foreign court orders them to hand over data stored on the companies’ cloud platforms. This comes just weeks after a campaign by current and former workers at Microsoft compelled the tech giant to cut off Israel’s access to its Azure cloud computing platform, which Israel had been using to spy on millions of Palestinian civilian phone calls.
