Google terminates 28 employees for protest of Israeli cloud contract

Google said it had terminated 28 employees after some staff participated in protests against the company’s cloud contract with the Israeli government, Reuters reports.

The Alphabet unit said a small number of protesting employees entered and disrupted work at a few unspecified office locations.
