Blood tech: The UK ambassador, the sex offender, Palantir, and Gaza
AI Summary
A recent Al Jazeera report scrutinizes the UK government's ties to Palantir, a US tech company, despite its role in supporting Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank. The report highlights a £240 million defense contract awarded to Palantir in January, as well as a £330 million contract with the UK's Ministry of Health awarded in November 2023. These contracts are under scrutiny due to Palantir's connections to Israel's military and its use of technology tested on Palestinians. The report also notes the controversy surrounding former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson's links to Palantir through his consultancy, Global Counsel, and his association with Jeffrey Epstein. The investigation raises questions about the UK's use of technology developed and tested in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, despite public criticism of Israel's actions.
