In 2021, Google and Amazon signed a $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli government, known as Project Nimbus, to provide it with advanced cloud computing and AI services — tools that were used during Israel’s two-year onslaught on the Gaza Strip. To secure the lucrative deal, Yuval Abraham revealed in a joint investigation with Local Call and the Guardian, the tech giants agreed to disregard their own terms of service and sidestep legal orders by tipping Israel off if a foreign court demands its data.
