Google has deepened a contract with the Israeli government. A group of 20 to 30 people staged a sit-in at Google Cloud CEO’s office in Sunnyvale, CA on April 16. Also, about one hundred Googlers and supporters protested outdoors and marched on the Sunnyvale campus demanding Google drop Project Nimbus, a cloud contract with Israel's government, which has been used in Gaza genocide.

Time Magazine reported recently that the Israeli Ministry of Defense has its own “landing zone” into Google Cloud, that provides them a way to store and process data and access AI services. Furthermore it gave the Israeli government a 15% discount on consulting fees.
