Oracle Corporation

The coalition that coordinates the Palestinian boycott, divestment and sanctions movement names Oracle alongside Amazon, Cisco, Dell, Google, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Intel, Meta, Microsoft, Motorola Solutions and Palantir. The ask is institutional rather than consumer: divestment, exclusion from contracts, and all forms of peaceful pressure, including boycotts where reasonable alternatives exist. This is why the asks on this page run through buyers, trustees and staff rather than shoppers. Content as served on 4 August 2026.

Revenue of $67.4 billion for the year to May 2026, up 17%, with fourth-quarter revenue of $19.2 billion, up 21%. Cloud revenue rose 39% to $34.0 billion for the year, and in the fourth quarter cloud infrastructure grew 93%. Remaining performance obligations reached $638 billion. Free cash flow was negative $23.7 billion as Oracle borrowed to build data centre capacity. Establishes that the Israeli business is immaterial to the share price, and that divestment arguments should be framed as exclusion on principle.

The most recent confirmation that the relationships are live. Who Profits compiles profiles of eight multinational technology providers (Amazon, Cisco Systems, Dell Technologies, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle Corporation and Palantir Technologies) and states that they supply software, equipment and services to the Israeli military, the Israel Police and the Israel Prison Service. The Oracle section carries the Ministry of Defense, military, Air Force, Civil Administration and Israel Police relationships. Who Profits records that it contacted all eight before publication to share the information and request a response, and that no responses were received.

Reporting on a UK local authority's Oracle procurement, and on the objections raised locally to it. Local government contracts are smaller than central ones and are decided by councillors who answer to residents, which makes them the most reachable of the published buyers.

Oracle's press release announcing that ReGrow Israel, an initiative established by the NGO Volcani International Partnerships with Mishkey HaNegev, has chosen Oracle Agriculture Data Intelligence, part of what Oracle calls its Digital Government Suite. Yael Har-Even, general manager of Oracle Israel, is quoted. The release is the current confirmation of who runs Oracle's Israeli business.

Coverage of the Ministry of Defence cloud agreement announced on 14 January 2026, setting it against Oracle's documented work for the Israeli Ministry of Defense, the Israeli Air Force and the Civil Administration in the occupied West Bank. The value and term of the defence agreement were not published.

Oracle's announcement of a cloud agreement with the UK Ministry of Defence, under which the department will move legacy systems to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and adopt new artificial intelligence capabilities. Defence Digital, which runs the military's information technology, will use Oracle's hybrid cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure joins the list of providers available through the MODCloud programme alongside Amazon Web Services and Microsoft. Neither party disclosed the value, the term or the migration timetable.

Lebanon's Minister of State for Technology and Artificial Intelligence, Kamal Shehadi, signed a memorandum of understanding with Oracle presented as a programme to train 50,000 Lebanese in artificial intelligence and cloud skills. Lebanese and Arab commentators objected on the basis of Oracle's documented work for the Israeli military and security bodies, and questioned long-term dependence on a supplier whose training pipeline runs on its own proprietary products. The minister maintained the agreement was limited to training and did not breach Lebanon's 1955 boycott law. The clearest recent case of a government buyer being asked the question this profile poses.

A call-off worth £53.55 million over five years from November 2025 to 2030, drawn from a framework valued at up to £5 billion, covering Oracle cloud infrastructure and platform services. The published contract is heavily redacted. The Home Office had already moved from Oracle E-Business Suite to Oracle Fusion in 2021 and is one of the departments in the Synergy programme. A named, dated, published buyer decision of the kind this profile's asks run through.

An account of Oracle's corporate posture, drawing on the reporting of employee accounts. It records Oracle posting 'We stand with Israel' on its websites after October 2023, statements by Safra Catz and by the Oracle Israel executive Eran Feigenbaum about the company's commitment to the country, and employees' accounts of being referred to mental health resources rather than answered when they raised objections.

Oracle's own announcement of the leadership change. Clay Magouyrk, previously president of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and Mike Sicilia, who led applications and industry solutions, became co-chief executives on 22 September 2025. Safra Catz, chief executive since 2014, moved to executive vice chair of the board and continues to oversee strategic direction. Larry Ellison remains chairman and chief technology officer. Establishes who now signs off contract decisions.

The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry concluded on reasonable grounds that Israeli authorities and Israeli security forces have committed and are continuing to commit acts of genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, that they have and continue to have genocidal intent, and that the State of Israel bears responsibility for the failure to prevent genocide, the commission of genocide and the failure to punish genocide. The analysis covers Gaza from 7 October 2023 to 31 July 2025.

The fullest contract record, from an independent Israeli research centre that tracks corporate involvement in the occupation. It lists Oracle under population control, specialised equipment and services, and the wall and checkpoints. On the occupied West Bank: Oracle supplies servers to the Israeli Civil Administration, headquartered in the settlement of Beit El, which carries out extensive demolitions of Palestinian homes and refuses about 95% of Palestinian building permit applications in Area C; tenders of October and November 2024 specify Oracle servers, manufactured by its Sun Microsystems subsidiary, for systems used to monitor construction; a November 2021 contract covered maintenance of those servers. On the permit regime: the Rotem-Reut system has run on an Oracle 11.2 database since 2006, operating at 25 checkpoints and 20 government ministries and interfacing with the Civil Administration, the Israeli military, the Israel Police and the Israel Prison Service; Oracle is sole supplier of database licensing to the Population and Immigration Authority, which held over 380 licences by November 2023 and paid NIS 1,258,323 in the year to December 2023; and Oracle licenses Matash, through which employers obtain permits to hire Palestinian workers. On the military: a 2015 renewal of the Ministry of Defense licensing agreement worth NIS 140 million over three years, the sixth consecutive renewal; an Oracle cloud system for the Military Intelligence Directorate in 2013; Exadata database machines for the Air Force in February 2012 at NIS 10 million; a January 2024 meeting between Oracle's chief executive, the Israeli defence minister and the prime minister on security assistance, artificial intelligence and cloud; and a January 2024 donation of seven tonnes of equipment worth more than half a million dollars to units operating in Gaza. On policing: an August 2022 sole-supplier contract worth about NIS 880,000 running to the end of December 2025. The page states the information is valid until 26/08/2025.

The Palestinian-led coalition's own dossier. It records Larry Ellison's March 2024 statement that Oracle intended to spend $10 billion on computing facilities in Israel in 2025, including 'large AI centers in a total area in which eight Boeing 747 aircraft could be parked'; the February 2024 donation of bags of medical and environmental supplies to Israeli soldiers valued at half a million dollars; the July 2022 hosting of soldiers from the military's C4I Corps to learn to use Oracle's cloud for military purposes; the 2022 Unit 81 procurement programme; the 2021 Project Menta partnership with the air force; the November 2023 initiative with Israeli ministries to elevate pro-Israel content on TikTok and Twitter; and the 2019 lease of the underground Jerusalem data centre at Har Hotzvim to supply Israel's banks, health funds and military with processing, data management and storage. It also records Israeli media reporting that Oracle moved a planned 30-megawatt data centre project to another country.

Based on internal Slack messages and interviews with Oracle staff. It reports a confidential project with the Israeli Air Force called Project Menta, which Shimon Levy, Oracle Israel's head of communications, said in December 2021 enabled the air force to do 'a bunch of important military stuff that we can't share with you'. It records Oracle's work with Unit 81 on a three-year procurement programme completed by 2022, a 2022 hackathon with the Israeli military, and a February 2024 hackathon with the military's cyber department on rehabilitating Israeli settlements near Gaza. It reports that Levy praised employees leading 'Words of Iron', described as a volunteering initiative developed with Israeli ministries to elevate pro-Israel content and counter critical narratives on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter from November 2023. It quotes Safra Catz, then chief executive, telling an Israeli outlet in November 2023: 'if you're not for America or Israel, don't work here.' Four employees said Medical Aid for Palestinians and UNRWA were removed from the internal giving page and no longer matched; staff said one employee was dismissed over a Palestinian-flag Oracle logo on a watermelon posted in a Slack channel.

Oracle and IBM were selected for the £710 million Synergy programme, a shared human resources and finance platform for the Department for Work and Pensions, the Ministry of Justice, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Home Office, covering about 250,000 civil servants. The contract runs to 29 August 2034 and is built on Oracle Fusion Cloud applications. Long-dated public contracts of this kind are the single largest lever available to buyers.

Oracle's own announcement, made at its CloudWorld conference. It states that Rafael Advanced Defense Systems' IMILITE imagery and geospatial intelligence system and its Fire Weaver sensor-to-shooter system are available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, deployed on Oracle Government Cloud, Oracle National Security Regions, Oracle Cloud Isolated Region and Oracle Roving Edge Infrastructure, the last being ruggedised portable servers for field use. Oracle says it is the first cloud provider to support the two systems, and describes the aim as giving warfighters quick, actionable insights in the battlespace. Rafael is owned by the Israeli state.

The International Court of Justice found Israel's continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory unlawful, held settlements and their associated economic activity contrary to international law, and set out the obligations of states in relation to dealings arising from the occupation. The legal framework on which public procurement reviews and institutional exclusion decisions rest.

The International Court of Justice found a real and imminent risk to the right of Palestinians in Gaza to be protected from acts of genocide, and ordered Israel to take all measures within its power to prevent such acts, to ensure its military ceases them, to prevent and punish incitement, to enable humanitarian assistance and to preserve evidence. The order is about provisional measures; the merits are pending. It is the source of the duty of prevention that reaches third states and their suppliers.

Safra Catz travelled to Israel during the assault on Gaza to confirm that Oracle would open a second underground data centre, deeper than the first, and said Oracle's commitment to Israel was second to none. Globes subsequently reported that the larger thirty-megawatt version of the project was shelved.

The Jerusalem District Court, sitting as an administrative court, dismissed Oracle's petition to overturn the award of Project Nimbus (Israel's $1.2 billion government and military cloud contract) to Amazon Web Services and Google. Oracle had argued that the committee was wrong not to name three winners, that it should have been recognised as an additional eligible supplier, that the winners' security capabilities were inadequate, and that Amazon's bid was late and improperly qualified. The court rejected each argument, held there was no obligation to select three suppliers where candidates were not qualified, and recorded the National Cyber Directorate's assessment of major gaps between Oracle's bid and the tender's requirements, information security being central because the Israeli defence establishment was expected to use the system. Oracle was ordered to pay costs of about $28,000.

Oracle became the first global cloud provider with a region inside Israel, run from a fortified facility beneath the Har Hotzvim technology district of Jerusalem (four floors inside a bunker fifty metres down, below five parking levels and a seventeen-storey building) built to withstand physical attack including missile strikes, at a reported $319 million. Oracle presented the region as serving Israeli government, defence and regulated customers that require data to remain in the country.

Oracle's petition itself, filed with the Jerusalem District Court against the Israeli government's decisions in the Nimbus tender after Amazon and Google were selected. The company that later described its Israeli work as ordinary commercial business had litigated to be included in the state's cloud contract.
