Google has fired dozens of employees in Israel as part of the tech giant’s global job cuts announced earlier this year. The layoffs affected employees across various teams and roles, including engineering, sales, marketing, and support functions. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, announced plans in January to cut about 12,000 jobs globally, citing a “different economic reality” and the need to make the company “healthier.” The cuts in Israel are part of this broader restructuring effort. While the exact number of employees affected in Israel has not been disclosed, reports suggest it could be around 200 workers. The layoffs come amid a wave of job cuts across the tech industry, with companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Twitter also reducing their workforces in recent months.
