Microsoft has fired two employees who illegally entered President Brad Smith's office during protests against the company's collaboration with Israel.

The incident occurred after a demonstration organized by the group No Azure for Apartheid, which called for the cessation of Microsoft’s support for Israel. The two dismissed employees, Riki Fameli and Anna Hattle, violated the company's internal policies, causing a blockage of access to the office. Microsoft stated that it is investigating the incident and cooperating with the authorities. Employee protests against collaboration with Israel have generated similar reactions in the past, including at Google.
