Legal groups warn Microsoft could face criminal liability for role in Israel’s Gaza genocide
December 04, 2025
PressTV: “A coalition of international legal and advocacy groups has warned Microsoft that its provision of services to Israel during the genocidal war in Gaza could expose the US tech giant to criminal liability before American and European courts, as well as global bodies.
In a letter sent to the company on Tuesday, Abolitionist Law Center, Avaaz Foundation, European Legal Support Center, Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations (SOMO), Center for Constitutional Rights, Ekō, and Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) slammed Microsoft for aiding, abetting, and contributing to Israel’s commission of atrocity crimes and human rights violations against Palestinians in Gaza.
They said that Microsoft’s provision of services—including cloud technology, artificial intelligence, and data processing—to the Tel Aviv regime opens the company up to wide-ranging civil and criminal liability.
‘There exists a reasonable and credible basis to believe that Microsoft has, through its provision of technology and services to the Israeli military, played a direct role in Israel’s commission of grave crimes against the Palestinian population of Gaza, including, but not limited to, genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity,’ the letter read.”
