Don’t be fooled by the title. The problem was not the surveillance, the nature of the data collected or even less the ongoing genocide.

According to Globes, a Microsoft investigative team began work last month over concerns that the Israeli subsidiary was exposing the company to legal liability in Europe. The Azure servers used by the Israeli government to store surveillance data were based in Europe, potentially putting Microsoft at risk from scrutiny by EU regulators.

After investigating Haimovich and his team, Microsoft ousted the GM and other, unnamed senior staff at the subsidiary.
