Amazon founder; his cloud stores Israeli military intelligence
Amazon founder · Person
Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994 and has chaired its board since. Forbes puts his net worth at $371.2B (4 Oct 2026), resting on about 8% of Amazon plus Blue Origin and The Washington Post. Amazon Web Services and Google run Project Nimbus, the $1.2B Israeli government cloud contract signed in 2021. +972 Magazine and Local Call reported in August 2024 that AWS provides Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate with a server farm used 'to store masses of intelligence information that assists the army in the war' on Gaza, and Francesca Albanese's July 2025 UN report names Amazon among firms granting Israel 'virtually government-wide access' to cloud and AI. After the 2024 election Bezos moved toward Donald Trump: he blocked the Post's editorial board from endorsing Kamala Harris, Amazon gave $1M to Trump's inauguration, which Bezos attended, and he dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. In 2025 he announced the Post's opinion pages would champion 'personal liberties' and 'free markets', democracy's death in darkness apparently included.
Jeff Bezos founded Amazon and chairs its board. AWS holds half of Project Nimbus and, per +972 and Local Call, gives Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate a server farm for 'masses of intelligence information' used ahead of airstrikes. Leaked terms bar Amazon from cutting Israel off.
