Google has terminated over 28 employees who demonstrated against the firm's cloud computing agreement with the "genocidal Israeli government and military".
The dismissals followed an inquiry revealing that protests had been staged within Google's New York and Sunnyvale, California offices, calling for the cancellation of the company’s $1.2bn contract with Israel.
In Sunnyvale, demonstrators reportedly entered the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, as disclosed by a post on X by the organizing group, No Tech For Apartheid.
Banners held by protesters bore slogans such as "No More Genocide For Profit" and "We Stand with Palestinian, Arab and Muslim Googlers."
A Google spokesperson informed CNN on Thursday that the protests were part of an ongoing campaign led by external groups and individuals largely unaffiliated with the company.
According to the spokesperson, a few employee protesters obstructed operations at several locations, prompting intervention to ensure office safety.
