Amazon suspends engineer: Sent 'threatening' letter to CEO Andy Jassy
Amazon has suspended a Palestinian software engineer for criticizing its business ties with Israel, specifically the Project Nimbus cloud computing contract. Ahmed Shahrour's internal communications expressing opposition led to his suspension and an ongoing investigation. He alleges the company suppresses pro-Palestinian voices, a claim Amazon denies, while similar protests have resulted in terminations at Microsoft and Google.
