Tech giant Palantir posts ‘otherworldly’ growth despite criticism over Gaza

Palantir Technologies, a U.S.-based artificial intelligence and data analytics firm, reported significant financial growth in the second quarter, with revenue rising 93% compared to the previous year. Despite this success, the company faces controversy due to its close ties with the U.S. and Israeli governments, particularly regarding its role in military technology and its involvement in Israel's military campaigns in Gaza and the West Bank. Palantir has expanded its operations in Israel since 2015 and has hired former members of Israel's elite cyberintelligence unit, Unit 8200. The company has also secured large contracts with the UK government, including a defense deal worth $323 million and a healthcare agreement valued at $444 million.
