On September 12, 2025, Amazon suspended Ahmed Sharur, a Palestinian-American software engineer, due to his protest against the company's cooperation with the Israeli government. Sharur, who works in Amazon's Whole Foods Market business unit, was put on paid suspension until further notice. This action was taken after he posted messages on Slack, voicing criticism of Amazon's partnership with the Israeli government's "Nimbus Project."

Amazon stated that Sharur's actions breached its internal policies, yet it refrained from providing specific details about the violation. In his messages, Sharur called on the company to terminate the cloud computing contract, arguing that it indirectly contributed to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.

In recent years, employees from tech giants like Amazon and Google have repeatedly raised their voices against their companies' cooperation with the Israeli military. These companies have faced accusations of stifling pro-Palestinian sentiments and imposing stricter internal oversight measures.
