Oracle Corporation

The Palestinian BDS National Committee, the coalition that coordinates the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, names Oracle alongside Amazon, Cisco, Dell, Google, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Intel, Meta, Microsoft, Motorola Solutions and Palantir. Its ask is institutional rather than consumer: divestment, exclusion from contracts, and all forms of peaceful pressure, including boycotts where reasonable alternatives exist.

Oracle reported 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 cloud infrastructure grew 93% in the fourth quarter. Remaining performance obligations, the contracted revenue not yet delivered, reached $638 billion. Free cash flow was negative $23.7 billion as Oracle borrowed to build data centre capacity.

Oracle supplies software, equipment and services to the Israeli military, the Israel Police and the Israel Prison Service, alongside Amazon, Cisco Systems, Dell Technologies, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Palantir Technologies. Its section carries the Ministry of Defense, military, Air Force, Civil Administration and Israel Police relationships. Who Profits contacted all eight companies before publication to share the information and request a response, and received none.

A UK Labour council offered Oracle a contract worth £8 million, drawing local objections over the company's record in Israel, The Canary reported in February 2026.

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 in the announcement.

Oracle signed a cloud agreement with the UK Ministry of Defence, announced on 14 January 2026, while holding documented work for the Israeli Ministry of Defense, the Israeli Air Force and the Civil Administration in the occupied West Bank, The Canary reported. The value and term of the UK agreement were not published.

The UK Ministry of Defence will move legacy systems to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and adopt new artificial intelligence capabilities under a cloud agreement announced on 14 January 2026. Defence Digital, which runs the military's information technology, will use Oracle's hybrid cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure joins Amazon Web Services and Microsoft on the MODCloud list of approved providers. 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 UK Home Office signed 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 department had already moved from Oracle E-Business Suite to Oracle Fusion in 2021, and is one of the departments in the Synergy programme.

Oracle posted 'We stand with Israel' on its websites after October 2023, and Safra Catz and the Oracle Israel executive Eran Feigenbaum made public statements of the company's commitment to the country. Employees who raised objections were referred to mental health resources rather than answered, on the accounts they gave, reported by Responsible Statecraft.

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.

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.

Oracle's database has carried Israel's Rotem-Reut permit and movement-control system since 2006, at 25 checkpoints and 20 government ministries, interfacing with the Civil Administration in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli military, the Israel Police and the Israel Prison Service. Oracle is sole supplier of database licensing to the Population and Immigration Authority, and licenses Matash, through which employers obtain permits to hire Palestinian workers. It supplies the servers under the Civil Administration systems that monitor Palestinian building. Documented by the Israeli research centre Who Profits, which lists Oracle under population control and under the wall and checkpoints.

Oracle intended to spend $10 billion on computing facilities in Israel in 2025, Larry Ellison said in March 2024, including artificial intelligence centres covering the area of eight parked Boeing 747s. The Palestinian BDS National Committee's complicity profile records Oracle leasing the underground Jerusalem data centre at Har Hotzvim in 2019 to supply Israel's banks, health funds and military with processing, data management and storage, and donating medical and environmental supplies worth half a million dollars to Israeli soldiers in February 2024. It also records Project Menta, the Unit 81 programme and the July 2022 C4I Corps cloud training.

Oracle has run a confidential project with the Israeli Air Force called Project Menta, which Oracle Israel's head of communications, Shimon Levy, said in December 2021 let the air force do 'important military stuff that we can't share with you', in internal Slack messages published by The Intercept. Oracle staff told The Intercept that Medical Aid for Palestinians and UNRWA were removed from the internal charitable giving page, and that a colleague was dismissed over a Palestinian-flag Oracle logo posted on a watermelon in a Slack channel.

Oracle and IBM won the UK government's £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.

Oracle carries Rafael Advanced Defense Systems' IMILITE imagery and geospatial intelligence system and its Fire Weaver sensor-to-shooter system on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, including its government, national security, isolated region and ruggedised field products. Oracle says it is the first cloud provider to support the two systems, and describes the aim as giving warfighters actionable insights in the battlespace. Rafael is owned by the Israeli state. Announced at Oracle's CloudWorld conference.

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 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.

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.

Oracle lost its petition to overturn the award of Project Nimbus, Israel's $1.2 billion government and military cloud contract, to Amazon Web Services and Google. The Jerusalem District Court rejected each of its arguments, 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 information security requirements, which mattered 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 petitioned the Jerusalem District Court against the Israeli government's decisions in the Nimbus cloud tender, after Amazon and Google were selected, seeking to have the results cancelled and to be included in the state's cloud contract.
