Employees urge Apple to support Palestinian people

SAN FRANCISCO: Nearly 1,000 employees at Apple have written a letter to CEO Tim Cook, calling for the company to support the Palestinian people, as a ceasefire agreement was reached between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, following 11 days of escalating tension between the two sides on the Gaza Strip.

The employees, part of the Apple Muslim Association (AMA) which is an official employee group, asked the company to recognise that "millions of Palestinian people currently suffer under an illegal occupation," reports The Verge.

"We are frustrated and disappointed because once more, many of those in positions of power and influence... either choose to remain silent or release ineffectually neutral 'both sides' statements with regards to the Palestinian situation," they wrote in the letter. (IANS)
