Microsoft’s annual Build conference in Seattle faced significant disruptions as protesters voiced opposition to the company’s ties with Israel. Demonstrators, chanting "Free Palestine," targeted Microsoft’s Azure cloud contracts with Israel’s Ministry of Defense, part of the "No Azure for Apartheid" campaign.

Leaked documents reveal Azure’s role in Israeli military operations, including target tracking and surveillance of Palestinians. The protests, ongoing for over a year, highlight growing scrutiny of tech firms’ involvement in geopolitical conflicts.
