Microsoft CEO; struck the Azure deal with Unit 8200's commander
Microsoft CEO · Person
Satya Nadella is chairman and CEO of Microsoft. His pay for fiscal 2025 reached a record $96.5M, and Forbes puts his net worth at $1.4B (29 Sep 2026). A joint investigation by The Guardian, +972 Magazine and Local Call in August 2025 found that Israel's military intelligence Unit 8200 stored audio files of millions of phone calls made by Palestinians on Microsoft's Azure cloud, under an agreement made in 2021 between Nadella and the unit's then commander, Yossi Sariel. AP reported in February 2025 that the Israeli military's use of Microsoft and OpenAI AI spiked to nearly 200 times pre-7 October levels by March 2024, and that its data on Microsoft servers doubled to more than 13.6 petabytes by July 2024. In September 2025 Microsoft disabled services to a unit within the Israeli military; campaigners noted that most of its Israeli military contract stayed in place. Francesca Albanese's July 2025 UN report names Microsoft among firms granting Israel 'virtually government-wide access' to cloud and AI.
