#Palantir: Why is the #Israel-linked #surveillance firm embedded in #Britain's #NHS?

Medical professionals, #lawyers and #activists express concern over the #Techgiant's government contracts given ties to #USImmigration and #IsraeliSurveillance operations

By Fleur Hargreaves, January 28, 2026

"The #UKGovernment is facing growing pressure over its decision to award large government contracts to #PalantirTechnologies, a US-based data and #ArtificialIntelligence [#AI] company.

"Partially funded by the #CIA at its inception, the company has faced heavy scrutiny after receiving a £330m ($413m) contract with #NHSEngland in 2023, which is up for renewal in 2027.

"It was also recently awarded a £240m deal with the British #MinistryOfDefence (#MoD) in December, three times more than a previous contract signed in 2022.

"Palantir entered into a strategic partnership with the MoD in September, in which it pledged a £1.5bn investment to 'boost military AI' and to 'work together to transform lethality in the battlefield', according to a government press release.

"Aspects of the deal included developing a so-called '#KillChain', which uses advanced data management and #AI to better strike 'enemy target[s]'.

"This increased integration of the tech firm within the UK’s health service and armed forces has raised alarm among campaigners, who point to the company’s involvement in the #genocide in #Gaza and US President Donald Trump’s lethal campaign against unauthorised immigration.

"British MPs have also raised concerns about Palantir’s defence contracts following an investigation that revealed the #SwissArmy had rejected the company over fears that US intelligence agencies would gain access to sensitive data."

Aufhören, für dieses Fass ohne Boden Geld hinauszuschmeissen -- das ist es, was dich (und noch viele andere) häppy machen würde.

Gebodigt ist diese wartungsintensive Flugzicke nämlich ganz von selbst. 😁

Bon ben comme nos avions de combat ne volent que pendant les heures de bureau, je pense que personne ne trouvera à redire si nos drones ne volent qu'entre avril et septembre. 🤦 #SwissArmy

Les drones israéliens de l’armée suisse ne supportent toujours pas le froid https://www.rts.ch/info/suisse/2025/article/drones-suisses-hermes-900-toujours-cloues-au-sol-par-temps-de-givre-28765152.html

Les drones israéliens de l’armée suisse ne supportent toujours pas le froid

Commandé en six exemplaires il y a dix ans auprès du constructeur israélien Elbit Systems, le drone Hermes 900 est toujours interdit de vol lorsque du givre est annoncé, soit possiblement deux mois par année en Suisse, a appris la RTS. Le Département fédéral de la défense faisait déjà état de ce problème dans un rapport daté de 2020, mais depuis, c'est le statu quo.
