Google CEO Sundar Pichai's Email To Israel Employees Goes Viral

Amid the turmoil in Israel's Gaza Strip following the surprise attack by the Hamas militants, the Google CEO has sent an email to his Israel employees, giving assurance to them of their safety.

He expressed his deep concern over the development and said that the company will continue to support its employees in the war-torn region.

Check out his letter:

Following the terrible attacks in Israel, our immediate focus has been on ensuring our employees' safety. We've now made contact with all of our local employees, and we'll continue supporting them.

We're also working to provide reliable, accurate information to people who use our products. Our systems across Google and YouTube prioritise authoritative information in moments of crisis and breaking news. Our teams are working around the clock to ensure this, as well as to detect and remove graphically violent, hateful or terrorist content, or coordinated disinformation campaigns.

Our cybersecurity experts are also sharing their findings in real time with the broader security community. For example, our security unit, Mandiant, has observed fake accounts connected to Iran which are promoting anti-Israeli narratives across various services, as well as investigating reports of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks by suspected pro-Hamas and pro-Russia hacktivist groups targeting Israeli government websites.

Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones, and all those affected.

Hamas launched the operation Al-Aqsa Storm' by firing thousands of rockets into Israel on Saturday. Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad fighters infiltrated Israel by land, sea and air.

The combined casualties from both sides have crossed 3,000, according to a report in AFP.
