Leaked files show a US tech firm raced to keep Israeli intel contracts
Leaked internal documents describe how a major US networking company scrambled to repair and expand contracts with Israeli military intelligence while the war in Gaza continued.
According to the papers, a year into the conflict Israeli military intelligence networks suffered repeated multi hour outages and crashes that undermined confidence in a key network supplier. A confidential draft memo warned that the failures, during wartime upgrades, severely affected critical operations and customer sentiment.
The company, which sells routers, servers and communications systems used by governments and militaries worldwide, has worked with Israeli security bodies for years. One 2025 document put military intelligence contracts alone at about sixty seven million dollars over three years.
When intelligence leaders threatened to cancel business, the firm activated senior staff, sent teams for months of bug fixes, and conducted on site visits under heavy security with a secretive military unit reported to be moving intelligence systems underground. After restoring service, an internal presentation billed the episode as a customer success story.
The leak also shows dozens of 2026 deals tagged for Israeli government clients, including intelligence, air force and navy accounts, many labelled as artificial intelligence work. A subsidiary analytics platform earlier this year pitched to join a contested Israeli government cloud contract already involving other large US tech firms, though it is unclear whether that deal closed.
Current and former employees organised against the military work call it a contradiction of the ethics the company markets to staff and investors. A US equal employment agency earlier found reasonable cause to believe Palestinian, Arab and Muslim staff faced a hostile workplace after October 2023; the company has disputed that finding.
Investors have called for an independent human rights review of the military business, with a shareholder vote expected this month. Watchdogs argue networking hardware sits at the base of surveillance and targeting systems even when it draws less public scrutiny than cloud or software contracts.
