Report: "Oracle" doubled the salaries of its employees in "Israel" and provided support to the occupying army.

The newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" reported that "Safra Catz," the former CEO of Oracle and current Vice Chair of its Board, stood before the Israeli company delegation during its global artificial intelligence conference held at the Italian restaurant "Canaletto" in the Venetian hotel, where she spoke to them warmly and emphasized their importance to her and the company.

Catz clarified that although she is no longer the CEO, she is still by her employees' side and for them. The report noted that Catz was born in the occupied territories and moved with her parents, Leonard and Judith Catz, to the United States when she was six years old, following her father's career as a physicist who held a position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

According to the newspaper, Catz is known for her loyalty to the occupying state, as she often repeats her famous phrase: "For us, there is the United States, Israel, and then the rest of the world. We do not hide that," which she reiterated several times during the evening.

The newspaper pointed out that she opened her speech in Hebrew to greet the employees and clients who arrived in the United States during the "Joy of Torah" holiday, and she appeared deeply moved, even covering her face with her hands for a moment before continuing her speech in English, stating that she could not hold back her tears of joy upon seeing the hostages who returned home the day before.

In a conversation with "Ynet," Yael Har Even, the CEO of Oracle in the occupying state, said that the company rushed after the events of October 7 to publish a statement on all its sites around the world in local languages titled: "Oracle Supports Israel."

She added that the reactions from some Arab countries regarding this stance are not yet clear, but the company does not show concern about the possibility of any of its clients withdrawing as a result.

The newspaper also quoted Shmulik Hauser, head of sales at Oracle, saying: "We were aware of the possibility of losing our clients due to our support for Israel, but this did not concern us; at our core, we support this country even if it costs us the loss of our clients. This is our agenda."

Catz noted, according to the report, that her support for Israel is shared by Oracle founder Larry Ellison, saying: "If you search online, you will find young Larry speaking with great admiration about Israel for decades."

The newspaper added that Catz and Ellison are widely respected in Israeli startup circles, especially in the healthcare sector.

During the event, Catz and Ellison mentioned the company IMAGINE AI, managed by Dean Beitan and his partners Yonatan Tsalah and Shaher Bourat, which developed technology for rapid cancer detection through the analysis of genomes, biopsies, and medical records to develop clinical trials and personalized medical solutions.

Applications include early disease diagnosis, treatment effectiveness assessment, and predicting the likelihood of disease recurrence.

Catz explained that the technology is capable of diagnosing a biopsy in just half an hour instead of the usual three weeks, adding: "It seems like real magic, and this magic only happens in Israel."

The newspaper states that Catz's words did not go unnoticed, as it is hard to imagine another American company doing for its employees what Oracle did for its Israeli teams during the war.

After the outbreak of fighting, every employee in Israel received double pay in the first months of the war "to feel comfortable," even those who were called up for reserve duty and were absent for long periods.

Oracle also announced a donation of one million dollars to the Magen David Adom organization and launched a fundraising campaign among its employees to support nonprofit organizations in Israel, pledging to match the amount raised.

The newspaper reported that the company donated equipment to soldiers of the Israeli occupying army, relocated employees residing in the Gaza envelope area to a hotel in the city center, and provided them with credit cards to purchase their needs.

Yedioth Ahronoth added that Oracle offered employees who felt unsafe in Israel during the war the option to travel to any destination in the world and work from there.

With the outbreak of war with Iran, the company took responsibility for relocating workers without local offices to hotels or apartments in partnership with local companies.

The report noted that all employees and clients who spoke to the newspaper during the conference described Oracle as a "fan club."
