HP Inc.

Israeli industry reporting on HP Inc.'s Israeli printing division. HP Indigo signed a three-year agreement with the United States photo products company Shutterfly, worth hundreds of millions of shekels, to replace Shutterfly's entire industrial print fleet with HP Indigo 120K fifth-generation presses, larger than a 2026 deal with ePac valued at about NIS 150 million. The article states that HP Indigo's Israeli operations, with research and development and manufacturing at Ness Ziona and Kiryat Gat, account for roughly 0.5% of Israeli GDP and about 2% of Israeli high-tech exports, and that HP Indigo holds around 70% of the global digital printing market with more than 7,500 systems installed in over 115 countries.

HP Inc.'s announcement that Enrique Lores 'has stepped down as President and CEO and as a member of the Board to pursue another professional opportunity' after 36 years at the company and seven as chief executive, and that Bruce Broussard, a director since 2021 and formerly president and chief executive of Humana Inc., is appointed interim chief executive with immediate effect. 'The Board has formed a CEO Search Committee to identify the company's next CEO and has retained a leading global executive search firm to assist with the process.' The company reaffirmed its full-year 2026 outlook the same day.

The current record of what the other company still does, and the reason a purchaser of either brand has a live question to ask. Who Profits is an independent Israeli research centre that tracks corporate involvement in the occupation. It records HPE's wholly owned Israeli subsidiary Hewlett-Packard (Israel) Ltd. at 9 Dafna Street, Ra'anana, and lists involvements in population control, specialised equipment and services, and the wall and checkpoints. Contracts recorded: three Itanium servers, services and maintenance for the Aviv population registry from June 2023 to June 2026 for NIS 3,829,410, HPE having been sole supplier since 2017; Israel Police Data Center Care services for NIS 4 million to 2024, extended in January 2024 for a further three years to December 2026 for another NIS 4 million; Israel Prison Service maintenance of the central and backup server farms, NIS 371,856 to February 2024, NIS 364,075 from April 2024 and NIS 445,000 from March 2025 to February 2026; Israel National Digital Agency biometric database infrastructure as sole supplier, extended in March 2022 to April 2025 for NIS 3,500,000 and again in May 2025 to the end of May 2028 for NIS 3,129,750; and selection in July 2024 to lead a new Israeli military server farm project. Page validity date 2 January 2026.

HP Inc.'s own figures for the year ended 31 October 2025: net revenue of USD 55.3 billion, up 3.2%; personal systems net revenue of USD 38.532 billion, up 6%; printing net revenue of USD 16.702 billion, down 4%; GAAP diluted earnings per share of USD 2.65; net cash from operating activities of USD 3.7 billion and free cash flow of USD 2.9 billion; and USD 1.9 billion returned to shareholders in dividends and buybacks. The printing segment is the one that contains HP Indigo and therefore the Israeli manufacturing base.

The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the occupied Palestinian territory and Israel concludes that Israeli authorities and security forces 'have committed and are continuing to commit' acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, and that Israel 'bears responsibility for the failure to prevent genocide, the commission of genocide and the failure to punish genocide'. The analysis covers Gaza over the period 7 October 2023 to 31 July 2025.

The central document for the entity question, and it names both companies. Paragraph 38 records that IBM Israel has operated and upgraded the central database of the Population and Immigration Authority since 2019, 'enabling collection, storage and governmental use of biometric data on Palestinians, and supporting the discriminatory permit regime of Israel', and continues: 'Before IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) maintained the database and its Israeli subsidiary is still providing servers. Hewlett Packard (HP) has long enabled the apartheid systems of Israel, supplying technology to the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the prison service and police. Since the 2015 split of the company into Hewlett Packard Enterprises and HP Inc., opaque business structures have obscured the roles of their seven remaining Israeli subsidiaries.' The footnote to that last sentence cites HP Inc.'s and HPE's own SEC subsidiary schedules. The report is by Francesca Albanese, the independent expert appointed by the UN Human Rights Council to report on the occupied Palestinian territory.

A Palestinian human rights organisation registered in Palestine setting out how the identity documents produced from the registry sort Palestinians by where they live - East Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza and the diaspora - and how the resulting classes carry different restrictions on movement, healthcare, education, property and family reunification. It describes the system as producing 'deep-rooted discrimination, effectively dividing and isolating Palestinian communities'.

The Court held that Israel's continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful, that Israel is under an obligation to bring it to an end, and that settlements and their associated economic activity are contrary to international law. This is the finding that attaches to any commercial operation dependent on the occupied territory, including the checkpoint infrastructure the Basel system served.

The Palestinian BDS National Committee's own ask, and it is two different asks. On HP Inc. it calls on workplaces, universities and community centres not to buy HP Inc. equipment; on Hewlett Packard Enterprise it calls on city councils, banks and public institutions to divest, citing HPE's servers for the Israeli police, for the Population and Immigration Authority's identity system and for Israeli prisons. The campaign page names both entities created by the 2015 split and cites the Basel checkpoint system, the Aviv system and DXC Technology's research facility in the Beitar Illit settlement. The BNC's separate 'what to boycott' page lists Hewlett Packard, expressly including HPE and HP Inc., as one of thirteen consumer boycott priority targets.

One of the three sources the UN Special Rapporteur footnotes on the corporate structure question. DXC Technology sold its Israeli subsidiary EntServ Israel to Ness, part of the Hilan Group, in April 2022 for USD 65 million. EntServ Israel had held occupation-related contracts inherited from Hewlett-Packard, including development and maintenance of the Aviv system for tracking the Palestinian population until 2020. Who Profits records that DXC retained a research and development centre in the West Bank settlement of Beitar Illit after the sale.

HP Inc.'s own answer to this campaign, still published on its newsroom. It calls the claims circulating on social media 'unfortunate and untrue', states that 'as a matter of policy, we do not take sides in political disputes between countries or regions', and asserts adherence to 'the highest standards of ethical business conduct' with 'rigorous policies to respect human rights in every market where we operate'. A note appended to the statement clarifies that HP Inc. separated from Hewlett Packard Enterprise in 2015 and does not develop, sell or own data centre or server technologies. The statement does not address HP Inc.'s own Israeli subsidiaries or the military personal computer contract it assumed at the split.

The source that separates the entities most carefully, and the one that qualifies the case against HP Inc. It describes HP Inc. as 'a US-based computer hardware manufacturer, the legal successor of the Hewlett-Packard Company', attributes the Basel checkpoint system, the Aviv and Arbel registry projects, the Beitar Illit settlement research centre, the Ariel 'smart city' pilot, the Kidma prison system and the military server contract to the predecessor company or to HPE and DXC Technology, and states of the Israeli military and government work that 'as far as we know, HP Inc is no longer involved in these activities'. It records that the exclusive military personal computer contract, awarded in 2009 and renewed in 2014 with an option to 2019, was assumed by HP Inc. in 2015 with no indication of renewal past 2017, and that most purchases were financed through the United States foreign military sales programme. Its economic activism list records the Presbyterian Church (USA) divestment of June 2014, the Unitarian Universalist Association's divestment from HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise on 25 March 2016, Dublin City Council discontinuing HP contracts on 9 April 2016, FNV dropping HP on 18 April 2019 and Unite joining the boycott on 13 July 2019. Page valid as of 5 November 2020.

HP Inc.'s own schedule of subsidiaries filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and one of the documents the UN Special Rapporteur cites for the 'seven remaining Israeli subsidiaries' finding. The Israel-incorporated entities named include HP Indigo Ltd., HP Israel Ltd., HP Scitex Ltd., HP Technology Israel Ltd. and PFE Investments Ltd.; the 2015 schedule additionally named HP PPS Israel Ltd. and Hewlett-Packard Industrial Printing Ltd. HPE's equivalent schedule for the year to 31 October 2023 names Hewlett-Packard (Israel) Ltd., Zerto Ltd. and Axis Cyber Security Ltd.

The Palestinian news agency's record of the union decisions, and it names the Palestinian organisers. Unite the Union, with 1.2 million members in Britain and Ireland, passed an executive council resolution in June 2019 to stop buying HP products and replace existing equipment. FNV, the largest Dutch union with 1.1 million members, dropped HP as a partner in April 2019. Apoorva PG of the Palestinian BDS National Committee is quoted: 'HPE provides the database for Israel's population registry, the very instrument that enforces apartheid and racial segregation.' The report distinguishes HP Inc., which it says provides computers to the Israeli army, from HPE, which supplies the registry database. A global week of action ran from 10 to 15 July 2019.

The foundational documentation of the predecessor company's role. Records the Basel biometric access control system, contracted to Electronic Data Systems Israel from October 1999 and requiring Palestinians from 2005 to give fingerprints and hand, retinal and facial scans to pass Israeli military checkpoints, with the Israeli Ministry of Defense confirming that HP Israel operated and maintained it at checkpoints including Jericho, Bethlehem, Jenin, Nablus, Tulkarem, Hebron, Abu Dis and Tarkumia. Also records the Aviv population registry work inherited through Compaq, the Arbel biometric project begun after the 2008 EDS acquisition, and the military and prison service contracts held before the 2015 split.

Traces where each contract went after the 2015 restructuring. DXC Technology, through EntServ Israel, took the Arbel project and Aviv system work for the Population and Immigration Authority, biometric station maintenance and Smart ID manufacture, the Beitar Illit settlement research centre, and a computerisation system for the Civil Administration at Beit El military base tracking Palestinian construction in Area C of the occupied West Bank. Hewlett Packard Israel, under HPE, retained Itanium server supply for the Aviv system and Virtual Connect maintenance for the Israeli police. Both DXC and HPE are recorded at the same Israeli address, 9 Dafna Street, Ra'anana.

Establishes the scale of HP Inc.'s own Israeli business, which is what survives the corporate split. Shoshanna Solomon reports 3,000 employees in Israel across manufacturing and research at Kiryat Gat and Ness Ziona, and roughly USD 1 billion of presses exported in 2017. Hewlett-Packard acquired Indigo in 2001 for USD 629 million in stock, and the article frames the division as unusual in retaining its whole value chain in Israel rather than becoming a research outpost of a foreign parent.

Report of the Presbyterian Church (USA) General Assembly vote of 310 to 303 to divest the church's holdings in Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard and Motorola Solutions, taken in Detroit in June 2014 after a decade of unsuccessful engagement with the three companies. The vote named Hewlett-Packard Company, before the split, so it reached both successor entities. It was the first such decision by a major United States Christian denomination, and supporters compared it to the anti-apartheid divestment movement.

What the Aviv database is for. Israel controls the population registry for the occupied West Bank and Gaza, so a Palestinian birth, marriage, address change or family reunion is only recorded once Israel enters it, and since 2000 Israel has frozen most changes. Human Rights Watch found that about 640,000 Palestinians - 17.2% of those registered - had relatives Israel refused to register; that more than 120,000 family reunification applications went unprocessed after 2000; and that over 130,000 Palestinians had residency cancelled between 1967 and 1994. Palestinians registered as Gaza residents but living in the West Bank face deportation and are treated as 'infiltrators' under military law. The report concludes the restrictions vastly exceed any security justification.
