Microsoft signed a contract worth more than $100m with the Israeli government in 2024, according to documents published on the Israeli Ministry of Finance’s Hebrew-language website, Middle East Eye can reveal.
The multimillion-dollar deal appears in Israel's annual budget-execution report for 2024, which was published by the finance ministry's accountant general in March 2025.
However, details of the Microsoft agreement were obscured within a lengthy list of procurement commitments and only surfaced following close analysis of the budget report by MEE.
Buried in the report is a list of the defence ministry's largest procurement commitments. One entry records an agreement signed in 2024 with Microsoft "for the purchase of software licensing", worth approximately 464 million shekels (about $125.4m).
