The Israeli Defense Tech Conference was scheduled for November at the Google for Startups campus in Tel Aviv .

The event was pitched at “founders, investors and innovators” looking to network and learn more about the defense tech space.

When The Intercept contacted Google , as well as the other companies and venture capital firms on the event page, the page disappeared.

A Google spokesperson told The Intercept , " Google is not associated with this event".

Google has insisted that Project Nimbus is not directed at highly sensitive, classified, or military workloads relevant to weapons or intelligence services.

But reporting has since revealed an extensive relationship between Google and the IDF , accompanied by public paper trails.

In March , Google Cloud engineer Eddie Hatfield interrupted the Google Israel managing director at “ Mind the Tech ” conference in New York .
