At a press conference Thursday evening, Palantir CEO Alex Karp declared his unequivocal support for Israel, stating he is 'the CEO who supports Israel most publicly.' The remarks come as Palantir faces criticism from pro-Palestinian activists over its cooperation with Israel since the October 7 attack.
Thursday evening, Palantir CEO Alex Karp made an explicitly political statement in support of Israel at a press conference, telling reporters: 'I am the CEO who supports Israel most publicly. Israel is on the side of the good.' The declaration follows his remarks earlier Thursday afternoon, when he named Israel as one of the world's three major tech centers alongside America and China, as The Zioneer reported. Karp has been a vocal supporter of Israel, particularly since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, and the company has faced growing backlash from pro-Palestinian activists over its deep cooperation with the Israeli defense establishment. Karp previously stated that he would not stop supporting Israel even if it led to employee departures. The Zioneer reported Wednesday that Karp also said half of Israel's critics deny its right to exist and that Iran has weakened.
